Audacity Forum

I wanted to cut out a part of Podcast that I have in iTunes. In iTunes it plays at normal speed. When I open the podcast in Audacity it plays fast. How do I slow down the play back. When I open other files from this same podcast person I get fast playback also some are faster than others. I know this podcaster has said he uses Audacity.

But they play fine in iTunes and on my iPod?

I know I can just slow it down in Effects, and maybe that is all I can do. Or is there some compress setting he is using?

I recorded some samples from a mic and my samples play normal. Other podcast play fine. So this seems to be a issue with this guys podcast/files.

What is going on?

Cheers,
Steve

It may be due to the file format.
Try upgrading to Audacity 1.3.13 and install FFMpeg, then try importing the files.
