A ne to say again why I need time change without pitch change.  I have a
tape recording of a book.  I have the book.  I am trying to use it to teach
someone to read.  The recording goes so fast that the reader, who is just
trying to learn the language, is too slow to be able to find, or follow,
the place in the book.  I have a shareware program called Music Transcription
System that has something similar to the old bouncing ball sing-a-long that
will point to each syllable in time to the music.  The operator can change
the metronome speed and the music changes speed.  I just bought a new thing
called a Sound Blaster Card that says it has sampling. If I record the words
in a set of sound files linked to a dictionary I would like to make it read
in time to the music. In essence, as fast or as slow as the child would feel
comfortable reading as they gain profficiency. Following the bouncing ball.
