An interesting question.

To me, anyway.

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

**rubah** · 08-15-2006, 03:02 AM

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?

**Zeromus_X** · 08-15-2006, 03:06 AM

Any idea where I could find such a thing?

And...no...not at all.

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

Unless something's appeared recently, you'll have to get something like Audacity or some other audio editor to reverse the track so other players can play it as such

Put your cd in backwards?

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

Ooh

I guess you could skip step one and get the Win32 binaries instead, or use linux livecd to avoid installing

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!
