Audacity Forum

Open the original (not slowed down) file in Audacity.
Use the Audacity effects to slow it down.
Export as MP3.
Sync the exported file to your MP3 player in the normal way.

You need to enable "play other tracks while recording new one".
The option is in Preferences, but it's in different places according to which version of Audacity you are using.

the plug-in is supposed to be able to work in real time, but I don't think there a way to do this with audacity? Correct - Audacity does not support real time processing. Also I don't really know what most of the settings do, other than the notes that I want... If anyone has any experience with thi...

Details are important - a simple thing like a number upside down can lead us down an entirely wrong path, or can have you selecting the wrong input source or other minor error that stops things from working.

Audacity 1.2.6 does support Flac but you need to configure Flac as the "uncompressed audio format" in "Edit menu > Preferences > File formats".
Having said that, I would still recommend upgrading to the latest Audacity 1.3 (and then to 2.0 when available).

the Crossfade shapes the fade to try to maintain a constant volume as the tracks fade in/out - so you may get better results with the crossfade. Emphasis on the word "you may get better results..." Depending on the type of sound, sometimes linear fades work better and sometimes the "...
