Strange because that's not happening here, audio retains pitch but is stretched or truncated depending on playback speed. There is only a short audio dropout when dragging the slider (VLC on 10.7.4). Portishead's Roseland NYC concert becomes oddly danceable at 6-7x.

Everything is getting dumbed down. If it continues this way, in the end powerful hardware and content creation tools will no longer be available to the general public, and we'll each be sitting at a dumb terminal, streaming everything from the rights holders. All file storage takes place in the cloud, using your "computer" will be like interactive pay-per-view television.
