CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This unique audio application does its main job well and boasts notable improvements, though we still must gripe about the less-than-generous trial restriction. As you may or may not guess from its name, Repacer changes the beats of your favorite songs to match your workout pace. The interface is basically a step-by-step wizard, giving you options for repacing a CD track or a tune on your hard drive, or merging two files. We're glad to say the program now supports numerous audio formats, most notably MP3. The program manually suggests a new pace for you, but if you want to be sure it's correct, you can always preview it with the built-in player. It's also nice that Repacer lets you determine song speed according to a list of preset activities, which include jogging and jumping rope. You also can set the pace manually by rhythmically tapping your keyboard. Unfortunately, the trial version only repaces a fraction of each song, meaning you'll probably have to pay for this program to get any real use out of it. Also, though the program is less of a hog than it used to be, it still eats up around 75MB of hard-drive space. Active folks and athletes may be able to look past the unfortunate trial restriction, especially since it has few competitors.Publisher's description
From Optimistec :Convert the pace of any music and create mixes that exactly fit your natural workout pace. Select the music you want and enter the pace you prefer, and the newly paced file is ready for your next workout. It supports the conversion of music from CDs (it includes CDDB support) and audio files (MP3, OGG, WMA, WAV, AIFF, AU). The program also features a customizable activity list so you can set different paces for different workouts. Clear documentation is included.
Version 1.5 adds support for reading and writing MP3 files and the ability to preview a repaced track before saving.

Version: Repacer 1.5
Pros: 1) it works - it adjusts the pace of MP3s without getting helium voices
2) fairly priced
Cons: 1) noticeable quality degradation from original tracks (even more than expected from repacing). OK for gym MP3 players, though
2) interface is clunky; not very intuitive
3) most of the time I am using manual beat detect;

Version: Repacer 1.5
Pros: It's one of the few programs that let you change the tempo of the music. Second good thing is, that it does it without making the music sound higher.
Cons: The output quality sounds good but is only 56 kb/s and can't be changed. Next to it, it takes up quite some work to get a series of songs into a specific tempo (bpm).
