This sounds like a difference in the sampling frequency. Music recorded at 48Khz must be played back at that frequency or there will be a significant difference in speed and pitch during playback at 44.1Khz. I first noticed this when it occurred to me when recording on digital audio tape. Ipods and minidiscs and mp3 recorders can record at high sampling frequencies like 48K. Cds are all recorded at the standard 44.1K sampling frequency. Check the source of your recordings and it should follow a pattern that leads to your current results. I do not have enough information on how your music was transferred to tell you more at this time, but I am very confident that differences in sampling frequencies of your source material are causing the pitch differences you are hearing. Without knowing exactly the sampling frequencies of each piece of equipment you used to record these songs it will be next to impossible to give you a very specific solution, so I hope the info. I have shared helps you to figure it out. Best regards and good luck! Michael Mittelsdorf
