Hi Heather,
You could use QuickTime Player to speed up playback. Navigate to the
mp3 file you want in Finder, then bring up the context menu (VO+Shift
+M) and find the selection "Open With". Right arrow to the submenu
and select QuickTime Player. If you bring up the A/V Control Window
(Command+K shortcut to toggle this window on, or go to the "Window"
menu on the QuickTime Player menu bar to find this option), navigate
to the Playback Speed slider and interact to set the speed you want.
If you want to do this after locating your track in the iTunes songs
table, I think you can use Command+Shift+R to reveal your track
location in Finder under iTunes 10. (In iTunes 9 it's Command+R to
bring up a Finder window with your selected track highlighted.) Then,
go to the context window to "Open with QuickTime Player" as outlined
above, and use the A/V Control Window playback slider to speed things
up.
I use AppleScripts to switch track playback between iTunes and
QuickTime Player at preset faster speeds, following a tip that once
appeared at the Mac OS X Hints site, and which is described in this
archived list post on speeding up podcasts:

However, you can always just open QuickTime from the context menu as I
described above.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Well, I was listening to some mp3 lectures using media player
classic on the pc side and itunes on the mac side. I wanted to know
if there is a way to speed up the media like there is with the
digital players? Or is there another program that would allow me to
speed up the media. I guess I am so used to listening to things
fast that it get really boring to listen to it slow! Thanks Heather
