Speedup audio

[JimmyJam]

Is there a freeware program that allows you to play audio files (esp mp3s)
at a faster speed? I have some podcasts that have a little content -- so i
cant skip them entirely -- but minutes of mindless drivel that i would like
to race through. Anything available that can cut down on listening time
without distorting the sound too badly?

audacity will speed up a tempo, pitch or neither.

Windows media has that capability...without distortion...

click.....view/enhancements/play speed settings.....

I use it to listen to pods all the time...

hope helps...have fun....sno

Bestpractice can do this.

9 will play some video types at 0.5-2x speed with transformed audio
it does mp3 but not wav
there is usually a little distortion

Nice. I like it.

Be even better if you could somehow use this as a pre-processor to
your favorite music playing application.

Gosh do I feel stupid for not seeing Audacity's or Media Player's controls.
Best Practice also looks interesting.

Thanks all.
