Play it Slowly

Play it Slowly is a software to play back audio files at a different speed or pitch. It does also allow you to loop over a certain part of a file. It's intended to help you learn or transcribe songs. It can also play videos thanks to gstreamer. Play it slowly is intended to be used on a GNU/Linux system like Ubuntu.

Features

• Plays every file gstreamer does (mp3, ogg vorbis, midi, even flv!)
• Can use alsa and jack
• Change speed and pitch
• Loop over certain parts
• Export to wav

Alternative

I also created a free web based alternative to play it slowly called Timestretch Player. It features higher quality time stretching and a more fancy UI. Timestretch Player works on Windows too.
