Hints & other applications
4.1. Song parameter database format
PaceMaker stores the per-song tempo/pitch/speed settings into file "pacemaker_songparams.txt" under the directory "\Program Files\Winamp" (or wherever Winamp is installed in your PC). This is a text file that can be edited with a text editor, e.g. to copy and merge parameters with another computer. More details to be written.
4.2. Saving changes songs to CD or back to mp3 format
It's possible to convert changes songs back to mp3 format or write the songs to audio CD, please see instructions here.

4.4. Using PaceMaker with audio CD's
It's possible to use PaceMaker with songs played directly from audio CD's with a CD-ROM drive by installing additional plug-in 'CD-Reader' to the computer.
Please notice however that some older CD-ROM drives aren't capable of reading audio in digital format ("ripping) in real-time.
