GREAT Windows Media Player Tip: Play Speed -> Fast!

I wanted to share a GREAT tip that I got from someone when I first started here at Microsoft two months ago. Ok, it probably isn't that GREAT of a tip but it is very helpful to someone like me who is always short on time and has a plethora of web casts and new employee orientation videos that need to be watched. To save yourself a bunch of time, watch them quicker by changing your Play Speed. I don't know exactly how much faster it plays videos/sound clips but it's at least a third faster. Of course with it on "FAST", sound will sound a little cartoonish. But I have yet to encounter a clip that wasn't difficult to understand on fast.

Incase you don't know how to watch a clip on 'Fast', go up to the FILE menu in Windows Media Player and click PLAY -> PLAY SPEED -> FAST.

You, like me, will save a lot of time! Thanks, GW!
