slowing down a song on computer?

[daz]

Is there any free software out there that will slow down an mp3? I

know its asking a lot but is there any free /Public domain software that will also slow a track and keep the correct pitch?

This is more for making weird ambient pieces, but dunno what you are trying to achieve:

Best practice ([url="http://www.xs4all.nl/~mp2004/bp/"]link[/url]) is a good free slower-downer, but as far as I know it's windoze only. There are others, a search on this site will give you more as this topic seems to come up a lot


Edit: Beaten to it

It can also change the pitch for you, and lots of other things.

+1 for Audacity - great piece of free software. Been using it for a while & never encountered a problem with it

I've been using audacity on the mac for ages, yet never known there was a time stretch tool.

Edit: Hmmm I prefer being able to change the tempo on the fly without having to re-render the song every time. Still, thanks for the heads up.

Play the song in Windows Media Player, go into the VIEW menu, select ENHANCEMENTS, then PLAY SPEED SETTINGS, where you will find a slider to alter the tempo, as well as fast, slow and normal buttons.

Audacity all the way for me.

Windows media player will slow it down but you can only play it slow, not record it or covert it.
