if you open windowsmedia player on full screen. under the now playing tab at the bottom of the screen and right above the play, pause, fast foward buttom, theres a box that has play speed settings. The scale there is set at 1x. which is the default. you can use the slider to adjust the playback to be faster or slower.

I hope tht helps! Sorry if its confusing.
