Theres an option for speed/tempo?

[CosminPerRam]

Hello fellas, i wonder if there's a way to change the tempo/speed of the music? Even when the music is running? And also, how i can see at what second is the music at the moment? Also, im beginner in C++. Thanks in advance!

ahh...you did what I told you 
altho I cannot provide an answer

The pitch is the only thing you can change that has an effect on the music speed:

Is there a reason why when you set the pitch higher the sound gets sped up?

[Hapax]

Yes, a higher pitch has a higher frequency so increasing the pitch technically just increases the speed at which the samples are played back.

But how do programs like Audacity manage to up the pitch while maintaining the same speed of the sound?

Or is this delving into something too complicated to explain?

They use more complicated algorithms, that are not part of OpenAL (and therefore SFML).
