Is there any MP3 player other than WMP
that can change playback speed ?

(no sound editing)

I need to play the audio at 32rpm or 98%

Thanks ..

You could use any player that opens Avisynth scripts, with a script that assumes a different sampling rate. Using this function
function AudioSpeed(string file, int "speed") {
speed = Default(speed, 100)
DirectShowSource(file, video=false)
AssumeSampleRate(speed*AudioRate()/100)
AudioDub(BlankClip(length=ceil(AudioLengthF()/AudioRate()), fps=1), last)
Subtitle("Playing ("+string(speed)+"%) : "+file)
}

you can do what you want by writing

AudioSpeed("myfile.mp3", 98)

Winamp has its DSP plugin that comes with a speed/tempo/pitch preset.

Thanks for that, I've forgotten how useful winamp can be!

Any DJ software has pitch control, w/ or w/o MasterTempo (change of speed with no sound alteration).

Of the top of my head: VLC, BSPlayer, The KMPlayer, PowerDVD, WinDVD.

Of them, VLC allows 96% speed, not 98% , BSPlayer in 1% increments, KMPlayer (depending on version) 5% or 10% increments.
No idea about Power|WinDVD, likely not very precise control.

With Winamp (or other programs that support Winamp plugins) you could use Chronotron for slightly better quality time stretching (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_timescale-pitch_modification)

In VLC, make sure to enable scaletempo in prefs(all)/audio/filters and play with the stride/overlap/search lengths to find the best for you, depending on material; music vs. speech, intended playback speed.

Non-free plugins: 2xAV , StudioTime (acondigital, needs adaptx from chronotron makers to make it work).

You could look at some of the guitar apps websites ( sorry I dont know which ), they use play back at odd speeds for practice/learning, you may find what you need.

Obviously, ScaleTempo (http://scaletempo.sourceforge.net/) works in MPlayer and a number of other media players too.

Foobar2000 can do it but the interface isn't readily accessible. I forget whether you need a plugin, but I think you do.

you could try a Dance Coach MP3 player. They do variable speed playback I believe
