Have you ever felt like there aren't enough hours in a day for all the TV shows you want to watch?

I've always wanted a way to speed up TV viewing. Windows Media Player does have a variable playback speed feature: press Ctrl+Shift+G when you're playing a WMV or MP3 file and you'll get a faster (1.4x) playback speed. Fun! Unfortunately, the trick doesn't work for other common media file types, so I rarely get to use it. Sure, I can convert all my TV shows to WMVs, but that's just too much work.

Well, my life was stuck at boring normal speed until I found Jesus Enounce 2xAV. It's a plug-in for Windows Media Player that lets you adjust media playback speed on the fly. And it works smoothly for all the file types that I've tried. Hallelujah! (Before you ask, no, I'm not getting paid to plug the product. I haven't sold my soul to PayPerPost, and I never will.)

I've been using the 7-day free trial version for a few weeks now. Yes, I managed to get around the 7-day limit because I'm awesome like that. And no, it's not technically software piracy, so they can't sue me... I think.

Anyway, I now get to watch downloaded TV shows and movies at 1.4x or even 1.5x speed. The little plug-in saves me a lot of time and allows me to work more and be more productive. Yay!

Just kidding, heh. Of course I'm using the extra time to watch even more TV. Hey, CSI: Miami is no longer as painful to watch when you can finish two episodes in an hour.
