Is there a way to vary the speed of a music CD player? I play my instruments along with the recordings and need to vary the pitch slightly to match the tuning of my instrument. We used to do this easily with vinyl by varying the speed of the turntable.

CD players for professional/DJ market have variable pitch built in.
I would be surprised. CD players are designed to KEEP their speed. I would convert the song to one of the usual audio file formats (mp3, wav) and run it on a computer with the free audacity tool. That lets you change the speed and even allows you keep the pitch! (Effect -> Change Tempo; Effect -> Change Speed). I use audacity constantly.
