The problem is most likely with the USB connection.
Avoid using USB hubs, try using a different USB socket if you have one.

I'm not sure how you would do it in Dos, but in a Bash script (Linux) this works: sox -n "output/temp.wav" trim 0 5 for filename in *.wav do sox $filename "output/temp2.wav" repeat 2 sox "output/temp.wav" "output/temp2.wav" "output/$filename" done rm...

Audacity 1.3.x Provided that the rate of change is fairly slow you can also use a "Time Track" http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Time_Tracks A limitation of this method is that rapid changes in speed are likely to cause jumps in speed rather than a smooth transition, but for gradual speed...
