Topic: slow down music

Am I the only one who didn't know you can slow down a track with windows media player? I have wanted a Tascam MP-GT1 for a long time but thought it was a little out of my price range for that kind of gadget. Found one on craigslist today for 50 bucks. I said " Oh I'm going to get that tonight!" Checked Ebay again to  see what they were going for and found "song surgeon" which is a software which does essentially the same thing as the Tascam. So while I was checking it out, one of the user reviews said something about slowing down tracks with media player. I opened mine up and sure enough its right there the whole time! Slows down the track without effecting pitch and you can make loops. Open your Windows Media player, select a track, once it starts playing go to "now playing->enhancements->play speed settings. You can move the little slider back and forth to slow the track down. FOR FREE!

Re: slow down music

Does anyone know if I can do the same in Itunes so I don't have to convert formats on every song I want to play. Maybe a plugin? Whatever that is.

Re: slow down music

That's awesome craig23.  I tried fooling around with iTunes.  Got it to open a song from iTunes in Windows Media Player but it wouldn't play.  Says it must be converted, as you said.  I'll keep trying though.  Thanks again for the tip.
