To me, anyway.

Is there any way to use a regular media player (WMP/Winamp/Realplayer/whatever) to play songs backwards? That's all.

You might could find a plugin for winamp. Or convert to wav and use sound recorder to reverse it.

Are you looking for satanic lyrics in Hotel California or something?:p

Any idea where I could find such a thing?

And...no...not at all. :shifty: :cat:

Edit: Can someone edit the thread title so it says 'An' instead of 'And'. Ugh.

I tried looking for something a few months ago and could only find native support for playing mp3s backwards in BeOS's audio player, which won't work in Windows :p Unless something's appeared recently, you'll have to get something like Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) or some other audio editor to reverse the track so other players can play it as such :p

Put your cd in backwards?:confused: [audacity]

You could import your CD or MP3 tracks into Wavlab and run them backwards. Or any other audio editing tool that is reasonable.

Step 1: Install Linux
Step 2: sox FILNAME.mp3 REVERSED.wav reverse
Step 3 (optional): lame REVERSED.wav REVERSED.mp3

No, I'm afraid step 1 is the most important by far.

There's always the pressing issue of time and accidentally deleting partition tables by virtue of being N00b.

Ah, such a tiresome and pointless exercise, for a solution so easy! :)
