VLC can speed video or audio up/down on the fly, preserving audio pitch. I'm using it with audiobooks and old movies, and also occasionally (without pitch lock) to turn hard house into sweet groovy house or breakcore into playful idm, as suggested by RDJ himself—see https://youtube.com/watch?v=5yBvP3616Wc https://youtube.com/watch?v=5yBvP3616Wc and https://youtube.com/watch?v=aWqf17mUyoQ https://youtube.com/watch?v=aWqf17mUyoQ
Btw, for some reason ffmpeg doesn't do well with changing speed of music—the result sounds poor compared to VLC. I found that `sox` gives better quality.

- capableweb 7y agoLots of love to mpv in general because it's an awesome tool, but VLC also have hotkeys for those things + I'm pretty sure VLCs feature set is much larger than mpv while still being super lightweight. Found this page but don't think that's all the hotkeys available even: https://wiki.videolan.org/QtHotkeys/ https://wiki.videolan.org/QtHotkeys/
- RMPR 7y agoSame here but for what it does support, mpv is the beast.
- aasasd 7y agoAh, and I neglected to note that VLC does the speed-trick both on desktop and Android. On a phone, it's not quite perfect for audiobooks due to some hiccups in controls, but the versatility is its favor.

- aasasd 7y agoYou might like this compilation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsYQcHrqRs4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsYQcHrqRs4 Especially at 0.85 speed without pitch lock. YouTube can't do that, so you'll have to use an app, like NewPipe on Android, or download the thing. As for Soulwax, don't miss their earlier mix of new-beat: https://youtube.com/watch?v=4XUipCxjmmw https://youtube.com/watch?v=4XUipCxjmmw
