So in "X-Men: Days of Future Past", there is this scene of Quicksilver helping Charles and company while travelling at super-speed and listening to "Time in a Bottle" on his walkman.
My question is, technically, he wouldn't hear any song as the walkman would play the tape at normal speed, would he? Or am I missing something?

He could possibly hear it normally if jes travelling close to light speed, relativistic effects would kick in. |

I don't think relativity works that way. |

I don't think relativity works that way. In his frame of reference everything is happening normally. When an astronaut goes into a spaceship and reaches light speed, his clock is still ticking how its supposed to, tick-tock. Only from an external observer does it appear that the astronauts clock is ticking a lot slower. Same concept applies to a music track. |

I was never very good at Physics!  |

Less sciencey explanation: he's listening to it on fast forward.  |

This is a COMIC BOOK MOVIE. Why can Thor take on the Hulk but have his ass handed to him by aliens that a petty human like Black Widow can kill easier than hell? These are questions that you just shouldn't ask. What matters most is whether or not the film can suspend any disbelief you have?? And for my money, given the cinematic gold of Quicksilver's introduction in DOFP, he's one of the best realized superhero characters on film since... ever. I don't want to nitpick his character to death.
