and preferably keep the pitch...

Also needs a playlist of sorts...

I've used some applescripts that stop playback in iTunes and load the file in Quicktime at a faster speed, but this is too clunky a solution for what i need it for.

Do any of those work in OS X? Since he was talking about applescript... tht means OS X.

AU Lab is a bit too "developer" for my tastes and for what I need accomplished. I just need a simple mp3 player that supports a playlist and playback speed adjustment.

Its kinda sad but i'm now using Windows Media Player via Parallels to get this done. :(
