Re: [Shaku] Stan Richardson's Tsuru no Sugomori

The free audio software Audacity also allows you to alter the speed of
sound files without affecting pitch. I'd be interested as to whether
Amazing Slow Downer does a better job in terms of the audio quality.
Benchmark comparison anyone? I could slow down a song on Audacity, and
maybe you could do the same to a song on ASD?

Audacity runs on Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, Gnu/Linux, and other
operating systems.
