How to play audio faster but keep pitch?

Is there an application for Ubuntu that can play audio faster but maintain its pitch?

This is possible in Windows using an application like PowerDVD.


Solution 1:

VLC is capable of keeping the pitch as well when activating the "scale audio tempo in sync with playback rate" filter which can be found under advanced options.

Solution 2:

Playitslowly Install playitslowly

There is PlayitSlowly, intended to do this (among others things). You can also save a sound file with altered speed or pitch.

Install via the software center
