Does anyone know if it is possible (probably only with some effort, if at all) to play an mp3 file backwards?


"The music is reversible, but time is not. Turn back! Turn back!"

"It's fun to smoke marijuana!"

"Turn me on dead man!"


Sorry, but I couldn't resist. Anyway, I've never done it, but it seems to me playing an MP3 backwards would just be an exercise in starting at the end, decoding the last frame, reversing it, and lining it up with the "next" (actually previous) frame in the output stream.

Though I think backwards playing functionality on the Empeg may open SonicBlue up to lawsuits from parents who think that there are evil hidden messages in their kids' music.
