Came across a free package which works with all sorts of audio files (wav and MP3 for example). Guess what? It's perfect for slowing down music files! (preserves pitch...and you can vary the amount of 'slow-down').
OK, it won't slow down a CD, you'd have to rip a CD track to your hard drive (wav or mp3 format). But what the heck. It's free. Oh, it also has a facility for recording tracks direct from your CD player or radio (whatever) connected to your PC soundcard input socket...
And being 'dictaphone' software, you move back and forth in the track with ease... You can mark tracks with "bookmarks" so you can skip directly to certain parts of the recording...actually, tis rather cool!!
Here's the site:

Very small download (as downloads go) 240kb zip file or 490kb .exe file, so even with a dial-up modem it should be no problemo.
I heartily commend it!
