Here not. It of course plays faster or slower - but keeping the key.

So where does it come from? Is there another setting to check?

No. Please send a video or audio how you are testing things and to demo your issue.
At best once with MT enabled and once with MT disabled (to effectively hear), that there is no noticeable difference.

Thanks for the video. You are testing with the PFL Player, but the default settings I told you only apply to the DJ Players!
Try in the DJ Players :-)

In the PFL Player you would have to manually switch between normal CD mode (CD) and the Master Tempo mode (MT) using this button:

So you can even during playback change the tempo slider and toggle the mode between CD and MT mode to hear the difference.
I have send you a video to hear the difference.
Note, that the PFL Player maintains the last selected mode CD/MT. While only the DJ Players are set to the selected mode when they are created, i.e. when a new playlist window is created.

Thank you, Bernd. Yes, I completely got it - it was logical. And it really does work beautifully!
However, I haven’t received the video. Did you send it via private message or to my email address?
One last thing on this topic: would it be possible to automate this feature? I have this example: when the four files of a show are automatically downloaded by FTP (they’re supposed to be formatted to 14 minutes but sometimes end up being 16 or 13), is there a way to automatically reformat them to exactly 14 minutes, using this feature?

Currently there is not.
I might think of a feature, where you select X entries in a playlist and make them N minutes long. But that is not really fully automatic.
I am not sure, if I can define that in a script somehow. I’ll think about it

It will be great!
While waiting for this new feature, thank you for all.
