Tech: cd trainer software

Hi guys.

anyone know where I can download or get for free (or cheaply) software that can allow me to slow down music cd's so I can learn to play along? I think the software is known as CD Trainer software?

anyone know where I can get cheap software that allows me to play music cd's more slowly without changing the pitch so I can learn the tunes more easiliy? Maybe even downloadable?

Slow Blast (see eg Slow Blast $26.99) does this. You click start and stop locs as the CD plays (on the computer) and you can then play the section back at a chosen percentage of real time. (I have a copy that came free with Finale I think). It appears to be a cheap version of Slow Gold II - $49, but you'll need to look that up to see what features it has that Slow Blast doesn't (it may be just better playback sound quality).

There is a *free* CD/MP3 player that will do this....I just used it, and it worked fine. (but do NOT accidently tell it to load the files in an MP3 directory without selecting them, it gives a cascading error message)...just pick the one you want)

wow...there was a thread or more about this way way back... you'd have to do a search for it and I'm not even sure what you'd use for a keyword...but I do remember lots of 'Catters had suggestions.

I found some similar software on a shareware disk I bought.
The result didn't sound too good, but if it is only for learning the tune, that's not a problem. It also needed quite a powerful machine.

Might take some time to find the disk and name of the software though.
