Software that plays tunes at different speeds

I think I remember reading here about some software that takes a tune and plays it slower that nominal tempo without losing the pitch. If anyone recognizes this, please give me a pointer.
I think it is intended for a practice aid.

Dumb question, I think. Does The Amazing Slow Downer transcribe for you, say to a MIDI file, or do you slow it down so you can write out the intervals by hand?

I do it by hand; it's GREAT for the ear.
Anyway, as far as I know, there's no currently available software that'll reliably transfer audio to MIDI. They're starting to get more accurate with single lines (just melody on the audio track, NOTHING else), but if there's any polyphony, accuracy goes out the window.

I use a digital audio editing program called GoldWave. It doesn't cost much to register and is available for trial download from:
http://www.goldwave.com
It seems to 'do it all'... from mixing and editing, warping, ripping tracks from CD's, etc.... to importing/exporting just about any file type. It's a nice program.

A plugin for winamp called pacemaker works really really well. You can get winamp from
www.winamp.com, and I believe they have all the links for downloading plugins on their site.

Windows Media Player 10 has this feature as standard. If you have access to a full version off Band in a BOX there is also a bundled programme that will alow you to slow down sections of music and loop (SLow Burn??)
