Same goes for videos (Yay action movies at 2x).
Bonus points (for fun only): Play action games afterwards. Time sensation is a weird thing.
What software are you using? I find audio parts of sped-up videos pretty difficult, other than on the ipod line of products (even in quicktime).
There is some info here:

The blog post (but not the comments) omits mplayer's 'scaletempo' option, which de-chipmunkifies the sound. Perhaps the ipod line of products is doing that by default.
(I personally only increase things like 110%. Still saves me time without ever bothering me.)
I use VLC's playback speed (fine) options. Right now I'm taking a few recorded lecture classes and I can get them up to 1.4x without any difficulty in understanding or comprehension.
