[Dtb-talk] A question about preferred book formatting

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Greg and listers,

It can also be detected audibly. You hear it as a very low rumble or the 
reader's voice sounds fuzzy when the book is played back at normal speed. I 
can hear this whenever listening to cassette books.

I agree the best way that I have found is to visually find the tone in the 
wave form. I believe there is a method of detecting such with a computer 
however.
