I am pleased to release StrechPlayer 0.501, a time-stretching, pitch-shifting audio file player. It is powered by librubberband, and also features an A/B repeat.

Or, you can run it from the command line like this: $ stretchplayer The GUI is pretty self-explanatory, and if you hover over the controls a tool-tip should appear. The GUI also has several keyboard accelerators. To play a file, click the file-open icon and select an audio file. Stretchplayer can play anything that libsndfile supports (ogg, flac, wav, etc.). However, it does /not/ support MP3 files at this time. As the file plays, slide the horizontal slider left or right to change the speed of the song. If you wish to transpose the audio, push one of the + or - buttons. INSTALLING THE PROGRAM ---------------------- You will need at least a 1200 MHz processor to use this program. It also requires the following libraries: * Qt >= 4.4 http://qt.nokia.com * librubberband http://www.breakfastquay.com/rubberband/ * libsndfile http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/ * JACK http://jackaudio.org/ * CMake http://www.cmake.org/ If you are running Ubuntu Karmic or Ubuntu Jaunty, you can install the .deb packages like this (from the command line): $ sudo dpkg -i stretchplayer*_0.501_karmic_i386.deb Anyone else will need to build from source. Please read the INSTALL.txt file that comes with the taarball. Peace, Gabriel M. Beddingfield
