I just downloaded the program and the free version doesn't allow any of the features to work. It just plays my music, I can't slow it down. None of the icons are active!! Bummer, oh well, thanks anyway.

 

I take it back. Everything works great!! I just had to close it and re open it and the features and icons worked great!! Thanks, this is really going to help my transcribing alot!!!

 

Too late!!!!!!!!

 

I've been using Best Practice for a while. It's free. Works great on CDs, but I'd like to find something that will work on I Tunes files. :?

 

Audacity!

It works on almost all sound files, and you can change pitch (with or without distorting the sound), slow down, speed up, and apply many other effects to the track. I use it for practicing particular parts of recordings before taking them at the original tempi. You can also save the track as an .ogg, .wav, or mp3 file for use on iTunes or whatever.

And yes, it's free.

 

Amazing Slowdowner.
Not free but certainly affordable at 50 bucks. Developed by a guitar player from Sweden. It is evident that it was developed by a musician. Available both for PC and Mac. The Mac-version for some reason looks cooler.
I have used it for many years and recommend it strongly.
