I’m new to this forum so don’t know if this has been posted before but I love the Amazing Slow Downer app since I almost always have to slow the speed way down when learning a new tune
. With the Amazing Slow Downer, you can change the speed of the music - from 20% to 200%. You can also change the key (say for viola - @Barry). Available for Windows or Mac. You can play right from a CD but it also slows down MP3, M4P, Wave, Windows Media, and other audio files.
You can download it and try it for free for 30 days – just go to http://www.ronimusic.com. It's very easy to learn and there are some tutorials on the website.
@Fiddlerman - Hope it’s okay to post this kind of stuff – if it’s against the rules just delete and make me walk the plank.

I take it that you're making progress learning and playing by ear.

Making some progress @RosinedUp - your tip is helping - long way to go but it's fun getting there.

Yep, enjoying the simple things along the way is one of the keys to progress.

What a great tool. I love it. I am now starting to play along with other music. I even played the Skye Boat song on the keyboard.. trying to make my own back track. Just for me because I love it.
I love this concept of the "slow downer"
I am glad you posted that. I know many will like the whole concept of the "slow downer" I like the name

it is a great tool, i have a sort of trial version that came with my essential elements book. i havent used it as much as i should though since it only does the songs from the book. if i get the subscription it will work for any song though

You're are fine VickieD. No plank for you yet. 
Unless of course, it's your app and you are trying to rob us all of the little money that we have... 
OMG!!! you are confusing me.

- not my app - just one I found useful. Thanks for not making me walk the plank.
