increase tempo of an MP3, what program can do it?

[thendis]

I would like to increase the tempo of an MP3 file without altering the pitch.

Unfortunately this cannot be done in GarageBand, but does anyone know of a good Mac app that will? does Soundtrack do it? or, preferrably, a small (and thus less expensive!) utility?

thanks

I think the Soundtrack Loop Editor (or something with a similar name) can do it. It's a free download, but it wouldn't work with all tunes.

<Edit: Yeah, it's the Soundtrack Loop Utility. Here's a tutorial:

there's also Traktor DJ Studio. but it's expensive and it doesn't support AACs.

The amazing slow-downer. Not sure where it is on the net, but a quick Google search should find it. I believe this allows both slowing down and speeding up.

I second Dave00's recommendation for the Amazing Slow Downer. It's an incredible tool, especially for musicians.

Does anyone know of any programs that can reverse an MP3 without lowering the quality much? I know of some for XP but none for OSX. I don't want to have to go into Final Cut Pro every time I want to sample an MP3 reversed!
