From Roni Music:
If you're a musician who likes to learn new songs and techniques by listening to the same piece of music over and over but wish that the music could be played a little slower, then you'll enjoy Amazing Slow Downer for Mac. This PowerPC program reads music directly from your CD-ROM drive and slows it down between 1% and 400% using a "time-stretching" method which does not change the pitch, regardless of the speed! Most programs of this sort require you to record the music first. Not with the Amazing Slow Downer. It processes the music in real time - just insert the CD and press the play button! You may also import and play MP3, AIFF, Wave and AAC/MP4 files. Other features include increasing the music speed up to twice the normal rate, pitch adjustments in semi-tones at full or lower speed, and more.

"Exactly what I needed"
Version: Amazing Slow Downer 3.4.4
Pros
Easy to drag any song from your iTunes song list straight into the File Player. If you are working on learning something in alternate tuning you can adjust the pitch down in the player instead of retuning your guitar. Example: First of all, I play bass guitar) I've been studying James Jamerson's "Bernadette" for good walking bass and rhythm practice. The original recording is tuned down one semitone. Instead of me going thru the trouble to retune my instrument I adjusted the pitch down one semitone (easy enough, did it by ear) took about 20 seconds. Setting the loop feature is a snap. Overall sound quality is better than the learning mode on my Tascam DR-07 MkII digital audio recorder. It's especially useful if you have accurate sheet music or tabs in front of you to put it all together. If you don't read music or tabs, it's still more than useful to learn by ear. In the loop mode you can preset a % increase in speed where each time it repeats it will play back a little faster.
Cons
Not really anything I can complain about. As you know, bass is at much lower frequencies so I have to make adjustments in the highs, and middle on the EQ to help isolate the bass. But I can get it adjust to suit my needs.
Summary
To me it's a very valuable learning tool. I play piano as well but have only used this for bass guitar but I did drag a very fast classical piano piece into the Amazing Slow Downer and it really separates every note (even in a complicate, fast piano piece) with very little to no degradation in pitch. It works for me.
