Hi
I am humbly asking for some help from anyone who may have any idea on this issue. i am having a really screwy problem here and I have no idea what could be causing it.

I use feedplayer to put my podcast on a myspace page.
I recently had a serious computer crash and had to re-install windows XP, reinstall all my software, etc.
Since then podcasts I have published play in both the feedplayer and the podcast pickle player at double speed.

I have no idea why. They play as MP3s fine, they play when downloaded to my machine thru Juice or ITunes just fine, but running thru the flash based player speeds them up and makes me sound like a chipmunk

But it's only the most recent episodes.
Here is an example of one of my shows on the feedplayer, and you can hear what i mean
http://www.myspace.com/themullettes
Notice it's only the latest show that does this. All prior shows sound fine.
Also notice, here is the same episode as a streaming MP3 and it sounds fine.

The streamed MP3 is the same file that the flash based player is picking up via my feed. It just speeds it up for some reason.

Now, I assemble my podcasts a bit differently than a lot of folks, I guess. Since i record all the voices myself, I assemble the various parts in Flash and export it as a wav file, then convert to MP3 and publish. Don't ask me why, it's just the way i do it. I haven't done anything differently with the newest episode than I did with the rest of the episodes that I know of.

I don't think it has anything to do with any export settings, because then it would sound screwy everywhere, right?
It's really got me baffled as to why it is doing this JUST in these players.


Any ideas???

Did you have to recreate the mp3's? Flash player's don't like many bitrates, I know they *like* 44.1kbps and I'm almost sure they like 22.05, so make sure you're encoding at one of those. Preferably 44.1.

well, in a roundabout way, that was the issue
Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction!
