• No malware like previously reviewed

  Ears14UMay 5, 2016

  Pros

  Does what it says

  Cons

  Not too sure yet.

  Summary

  This was reported to install unwanted advertising malware. I can tell you as of 5-5-16 that isn't the case. It installs quickly, almost too quickly now. And it does pretty good considering it's a free. Almost as good as my Tascom.

• It's a NO NO!

  winterznightSeptember 27, 2014

  Pros

  It did slow down music okay BUT...

  Cons

  Added malware, even though I had ticked that I didn't want any. Changed my search engine and caused other problems with my computer which took me ages to put right,

  Summary

  DEFINITELY AVOID!

• poor product, horrible, dangerous, and evil installer

  banjodanMarch 18, 2013

  Pros

  free, or so they say

  Cons

  The CNET installer is absolutely HORRIBLE. It tries to install all kinds of crapware. Whoever at CNET decided to do this deserves only to work behind a circus elephant with a shovel and a bucket. I installed the product from a different source. The speed changer function is weird. It doesn't actually work but it does add a sort of echo effect to the songs.

  Summary

  Product isn't worth the trouble, CNET downloader is SCUM! Spyware for sure, settings-changer for sure, and who knows what malware, viruses, backdoors, keystroke capturers, etc. it might install? CNET was honorable for years. No longer. REMEMBER: CNET DOWNLOADER IS SCUM!!<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Mar 25, 2013<p/>It's unusable for me. When I try to slow down or speed up a song it's so distorted that I can't hear much other than distortion. There's a sort of unsynchronized multi-track effect. I have a pretty standard setup here. Windows 7 on a PC with an AMD Athlon dual-core processor, 5 Gbytes of RAM. Primary browser is Firefox 19.0.2 so I don't think my system is the problem. I'm glad the program is free. If I had paid for it I would return it for a refund. Try it. You might have a better experience that I did.

• Not for speech

  aa787May 29, 2012

  Pros

  Good for music files

  Cons

  Not so good for speech

  Summary

  I only tried it for speeding up podcast speech. Not really suitable for this. The voices aren't clear enough when tempo increased &gt;150%; no batch mode; only saves .WAV files.

• Perfect Practice Software

  cs3125February 22, 2009

  Pros

  Scope and execution and price

  Cons

  Not applicable

  Summary

  Scope is just right. Open an mp3, click play, click to set the start of the passage you want to work on, click to set the end point, set a percentage slowdown, click loop, and get to work on your chops. All you need, done just right. After a few minutes using it I was very impressed and so grateful that somebody would put it out there for free I had to join cnet and leave my first review. Thank you for your fine work.

• Best FREE riff learning tool

  scottmo223November 15, 2008

  Pros

  Simple to use Excellent features No spam or problems It's FREE!!!

  Cons

  A play list might be nice, but not absolutely necessary Sound sometimes gets a little digital when slowing down the song a ton, but you can still hear the notes. Plus it's free so who cares

  Summary

  Very simple program, easy to run. The loop is excellent especially when your really trying to nail a certain solo in a song. It could be useful for bass and drums as well. I definitly would recommend this as opposed to spending $50 for a more flashy program. Might as well give it a try! it's free.....
