If you press SPACE (spacebar) to play and it's still too fast then the problem is how it was recorded.

I used the player to create the file, and after the creation, the file was too large to completely fit on screen, it only saved and exported the part that was on the screen (which was only around 6 min) As explained we don't make an Audacity version that has a...

I have been using Audacity for five years in prior PC's to record Karoke output, both directly from mp3/cdg files played through a VLC player as well a...
