Song Slowdown Software...
...Anyone know of any free software on the net that will slow songs down. It would be handy for me to brush up my flat picking. Thanks.
Tom

Amazing Slow Downer offers a free trial version that will only work for the first two tracks on a CD. You can burn the pair of songs you want to slow a
bit a disc and use that two song CD with no trouble. Hope that helps, Kevin Gallagher

Audacity is free, and can slow songs down without changing pitch (and do lots of other things too).

The folks here on the forum were kind enough to turn me on to "BestPractice". I found it to be a VERY simple and intuitive software that does exactly what you asked for, (but not very much beyond that).
I tried a number of different titles, but most were trial versions that eventually required $$ to register. I also enjoyed GDT (Guitar Drum Trainer), but again that was a trial version. Here's a link to the CNET Review page with download link for the Best Practice software. http://download.cnet.com/BestPractic...html?tag=mncol Good Luck MikeB

OK - so you asked for free - and this isn't, its $50 - but Transcribe! is the best tool I've used. I bought ASD, and regularly use audacity - but Transcribe! wins hands down in terms of ease of use. For example - and it sounds a small thing, but to me its extremely important - when you loop a section you can define a pause at the end of the loop which allows you to prepare to play the section again. Its also far easier to isolate the section you need than ASD too. There's plenty more too.
No axe to grind here - I've bought both, but if you've got the money I'd suggest that in terms of playing improvement bang for the buck its a far better $50 value than ebony pins or a FWI nut  Paul.

I think most of the player now will slow down audio files... GOM and VLC are free and they will do so..

The latest version of Windows Media Player and Quick on the Mac will do it. I forget where the option is on media player, dont have a windows computer anywmore. On quicktime just go to View AV controls there it is.

+1 for audacity. I've used it many times for that purpose. It's free, easy to use and does a bunch of stuff fairly well -- other things (like multitracking) not well at all.
