a command line tool to speed up audio (like podcasts)

Primary LanguageRuby

Change Tempo
============

[on OSX]

Increase the tempo of all tracks in the 'Podcasts' playlist in iTunes
(update state is stored in the mp3 'comments' tag, and already altered tracks
will not be re-fiddled, so running this multiple times shouldn't hurt)

=== Dependencies:

* sudo port install lame soundtouch id3lib ruby rb-rubygems
** (you can get MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/, which'll make the port command work)
* sudo gem install activesupport rb-appscript id3lib-ruby

=== Install:

Put this somewhere sensible (like ~/bin/change_tempo) and run it regularly, by, say:
  crontab -e
  15 3 * * * ~/bin/change_tempo --speedup 20 --playlist new-podcasts > ~/log/change_tempo.log
