Slow down music?

[Sc00ter1808]

Hello, I am learning to play an instrument and with the help of recorded music help to learn but with faster types of music I want to find a audio player that has the ability to slow it down to help read the music. Does anyone know of an audio player that has this ability? Thanks!

If there's a player out there that can do this, I'm not aware of it. But there is some Audio Editing software that can change the speed and or the pitch of any song that you may want to apply it to. The power pack may be able to do this as well.

Audacity is freeware.

Hope this is helpful.
Good luck.

I want to read the music (Japanese(Okinawan) Sanshin) and listen to it at a slower pace and tried a program "Amazing slow downer". This would be a great program but always cuts out during the middle of the song. Have you heard of anyother programs that wold slow down the music without messing with the pitch?
Thanks!

Audacity will do it. It has options to change only the speed, or only the pitch, or you can change both. It works. I've done it. Go try it.

You can also try the Roni website at http://www.ronimusic.com/ . Program is called Amazing Slow Downer. I think the free version will only do portions of songs, but the complete version may do the whole song.
