Hi,

I'm looking for an mp3 player that allows to adjust the speed, but haven't been
successful so far.

audacity: requires preprocessing (and is not really a music player)
amarok: the developers tagged #103895 as wontfix
vlc: allows only fixed multipliers (like 0.5x/1x/2x)
noatun: restarts song from beginning on every change

Is there any music player that allows to adjust the speed by any factor between
half and double speed, at any point during playback, without preprocessing,
without restarting playback from beginning, and with pitch correction?

Joachim

P.S.: Please CC: me on replies.

mplayer can adjust the speed on-the-fly. A quick search through the man
page does find a filter which compensates for the pitch as well, but I
didn't test it.

What you are looking for is really not just a player, but an audio
editor. Give audacity a try - works well for me.

alsaplayer does it too, even allowing negative speeds for your satanic
parties :)

>From a user's point of view there is no difference between adjusting volume,
speed or pitch. Hence, I consider adjustable speed as a basic feature of a music
player. Anyway, audacity doesn't suit my needs (stop playback, preprocessing).

Unfortunately, (g)mplayer does not display the current speed (imagine that you
press [ or ] several times during playback), 10% steps are too large, also.

alsaplayer is fine.

Thanks for all suggestions.
