Interesting, most commercial radio stations recorded their music carts or set the pitch on their CDs/phonos +6% to squeeze in more ad time per hour. The general consensus was that +6% speed increase was as good as imperceptible to the vast majority of listeners. I can't ever recall receiving a complaint for all the time I worked in radio.
