Sure, but it is a bit of work.

  1. One the Mac, create a playlist alternating fast and slow, with each song at least 3 minutes long.
  2. For the first song, right-click, Get Info, Options tab, and set the Stop time to 3:00. (Or alternatively, set the Start time you want, and set the Stop time 3 minutes later.)
  3. Continue for each song!
