Any one know of a tool that will allow me to play an audio file (wav) at<br>
a slower speed (and ideally rewrite it at that speed as well)?<br>
<br>
I tried monkeying with mplayer's -srate option but that just degrades<br>
the quality without slowing the pace.<br>
<br>
I have some readings by Eudora Welty and the first track is so fast I<br>
can barely follow along. It's like she had 20 espressos beforehand. I<br>
believe the publisher did some kind of time compression on it so that it<br>
would fit on one CD. These were all recorded in 1956 but the pitch of<br>
her voice on the 1st track is noticeably higher than the others (but it<br>
doesn't have that chipmunk effect so they may have done some tweaking as<br>
well).<br>
<br>
Any tips appreciated.<br>
