A whole CD in 4 seconds (sci-fi computer working)

I took one (not released yet) of my (own) albums and smashed it.
I loaded it into Audacity and changed the sample rate of the track to 1 000 000 Hz. Then I did "Mix and Render" to resample the track back to 48 kHz. I did this two of three times, don't really remember. It came to be about 4 seconds long. Really fast-forward.
If you had a tape deck that could spin so fast to play over 1 hour tape in 4 seconds - it would sound a bit like this.

Here you have it - sounds like sci-fi computer doing it's job.
