Nice. It's gone in 10.6 QuickTime Player but definitely there in the 10.5 player. I wonder if it comes back in the Pro version on 10.6, but I couldn't dig up any info on that. I did find out the a plain old L key while in QT Player on 10.5 increases the playback multiple and J decreases it. Neither of those keys seem to work on Snow Leopard either.

I take it you have to download the older version of quicktime for snow leopard? The player that comes installed by default just bonks at me when I hit apple K. John

Quicktime Player can do this. Just open your file in Player and hit Apple-K to bring up the AV controls. Towards the end of the left column you'll find a slider for pitch shift and at the bottom right of the window is another slider for playback speed.

Hi Scott, I may be missing something, but when I downloaded MPlayer I did not see a pitch or speed controller of any kind. I looked in preferences, as well as the menus. Where were these settings in the version you used? Thanks for the recommendation, love the simplicity of the player. John

John, there is MPlayer, which I have used on occasion. Here is a link to the program, but I have not used this particular version, I instead compiled from source since I had some issue with the binary distribution I was attempting to use at that time.
Try this out and hopefully it will do what you want.
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18580 - The source can be found at http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:zPcY0TEl6mUJ:mplayerosx.sourceforge.net/+mplayer+for+the+macintosh&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=safari <http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:zPcY0TEl6mUJ:mplayerosx.sourceforge.net/+mplayer+for+the+macintosh&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=safari>
That is a really long URL and may not work.

Hi listers,
I have recently gotten my hands on some audio tracks from described videos. They're cool, but because they are from Britain, and were converted from different video standards, the audio plays at a slightly faster rate than it should, making voices and music sound weird. Is there an audio player for the mac that will let me slow down the speed and decrease the pitch simultaneously? VLC does have a rate control, but even when decreasing the rate, the pitch remains the same. I think it's using something called audio stretching, which makes things sound even worse than before. I need an audio player that would decrease the speed as if I was decreasing the slider on an old 4 track tape player. I check out quicktime, but I don't see any options there. Is there anything I'm missing? If not, how have any of you changed both pitch and speed simultaneously when necessary?
Thanks for your help.

John
