I can't afford to get the amazing slow downer for just one song. Does anyone know another way I can get versions of Whammer Jammer slowed down by 50% and 75%? I'd like to burn them to a CD so I can practice when I drive.
Thanks!

Thanks, Carl. My email address is philsales at comcast.net. Of course, replace the at with @. I don't want any spy bots latching onto that address.
Thanks!

Download Transcribe!
It's absolutely identical to The Amazing Slow Downer. But the first 30 days are free until you're then forced to buy/register it.
I'm sure you could transcribe and practice Whammer Jammer in that time frame.

Jeff, I tried Transcribe, but it wouldn't let me save to any kind of format that I could burn to a CD. I need to practice while driving!
Thanks everyone!

Then download a free program that records streaming audio. I used to have a couple a few years back. I can't remember the names (there's a plethora of them). Essentially, it just records whatever is playing on your computer to a mp3 format file. I used to use it to record streaming real audio files.

From the TRANSCRIBE developer website:
"How can I save a modified sound file from Transcribe! ?"
"Why can't I load the XSC file saved by Transcribe! into my sound file editing or playing software, or burn it to audio CD ?"
If you want to save a modified sound file from Transcribe! (with altered speed or pitch for instance) then the command you need is called "Export Sound File" (File menu, on version 7) or "Copy to File" (Tools menu, on version 6 or earlier).
XSC (transcription) files don't contain any sound. They are text files containing information about your transcription. Read the Help for the File Menu (in Transcribe!'s Help) for more information.

Well, you obviously have a computer. I find the best way to learn a song is by using Windows Media Player. Under the NOW PLAYING tab, you will see ENHANCEMENTS where you will find PLAY SPEED SETTINGS. Use this enhancement to slow down playback of a tune.
All the best to all,

I found a great free slowdowner.
It doesn't save files but it does allow you to contol everything.
It even pitch shifts so if you don't have the right harp you can shift the playback to match one you do have.
