and it is 'that phrase' you need to look for, "Variable speed".
I found this review at CNET; http://reviews.cnet.com/4321-6490_7-6660866.html
Hope that will give you some idea what to research for.

I am desperately looking for an MP3 player that can change speeds.
I have an iPod Nano, and use it mainly for listening to lectures.
Problem is, that many of the lecturers speak slowly, and if I would be able to speed it up, it would make it much easier.
I also occasionally do a little DJing, where being able to change speed is important.
I and ready to get an MP3 player just for that feature, it's that useful!
