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.
