A quick work around may be to check for a windows Media Player update or
move across to WinAmp which may cope with these files better?

If you do not want to do this then you could try the following.

I have heard of this a the *chipmunk* effect. I have not experienced this
myself but I believe it may possibly  be a sensitivity by Windows Media
Player to certain forms of encoding, bit rates and possibly a reaction to
some variable bit rate files.

What I would do is reincode the files. If you are happy using Gold Wave use
this utility to see if you can save the files with CBR that is constant bit
rate, rather than VBR - variable bit rate. I am not familiar with Gold Wave
but I suspect that this will be possible.  Alternatively use any program to
convert the files back to WAV files and then save them again as MP3 files.
You will probably lose tag information.

Let us know if any of this works in case someone else gets this problem.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] strange thing happening with windows media palyer

i have all kinds of mp3 files that i download from various places and for
some reason, when trying to play some of these files with windows media
player they play in double speed instead of the normal speed. 
the only way i can get these files to play correctly is to load them in to
goldwave which is an audio editing program. this only happens to some of my
files, most of my music files play 
correctly        with windows media player. I'm just wondering if 
anybody else has had this problem
