Well, you say you want a quick-and-dirty application but that's a
moderately full feature set.
I don't want to discourage you or anyone else from having fun writing
code, but the last time I had to learn a bunch of music for a gig, I
imported the audio files into Logic. Sometimes I'd use a USB-MIDI
controller next to the keys for transport control. Often I'd just loop
a tricky passage.
When I needed to slow down a tricky solo, I copied the appropriate
chunk of the audio file and applied the offline time compressor/
expander. Yes, realtime would have been easier; I ended up with
several copies of the solo at different speeds (probably something
like 60%, 80%, 90%)
You could almost do this in AULab with the realtime time/pitch unit;
the catch is that AUAudioFilePlayer's UI probably can't be streamlined
enough for this kind of thing.
But that suggests a good starting point: make an AUGraph with an
output unit, AUAudioFilePlayer and AUTimePitch, and start writing
custom UI.

can point me in the right direction.
