Sometimes just going to the effort to formulate a query triggers ideas that
I just couldn't seem to think of just prior. This query is a case in point.
After posting here, a few 'newly occurring' search terms to try came to my
mind. I then punched them into Google... And then suddenly, voila! Found
what I was looking for. FYI it's called "digital time compression". And
I've also found software that will enable me to have this on my home
computer: A plug-in, called 2xAV for either Windows MediaPlayer or
RealPlayer (depending on which version of the plug-in you buy) by Enounce
Incorporated (http://www.enounce.com/).
