Being able to slow down music without changing the pitch can be very useful during practice. You may want to hear a certain riff in a song, the timing of a certain section of a piece or just play along with a track, but slower. If you are using Minus One CDs for example, you may find the track on the CD is faster than your performance speed. The good news is there are probably various tools which allow you to slow down audio already on your computer!
There are some great iphone/ipad apps to slow down music and help you learn pieces, play along with pieces/backing tracks or transcribe music. The first is called Anytune Pro. This is a full function app that can help with practicing music or transcribing music. It is easy to use and has gained many 5* reviews on the iTunes App store (including one from me!). Click the icon to see full details.
Another useful app is called Soundpitch. The interface is very simple and you can either use music from your iTunes library or add specific pieces to the SoundPitch library when you sync. Click on the screen shot of the app, which is very quick and simple to use with the sliders, to see further information.

Unfortunately neither Quicktime nor Windows Media Player allows you to save or export the slowed versions of your music for burning to CD or moving to another device. If you want to do so you will need a program such as The Amazing Slow downer (Mac and PC) from Roni Music or Nero for the PC.
