Hi !
Thanks for the replies on slowing down audio.
I would like to build an audio file using several other audio files,
preferably with some 2-4 seconds silence between them. Actually this
is to upload to youtube a series of songs as one single file, that does
not need the use of a playlist. The files are currently in wav (Ardour
export) and ogg. Which tool can be used to construct such a file ?
Very quickly I'd think of using Ardour to put all the files one after
another and then export the result, but that seems overkill, and
possibly taking more time to do. There has to be something more like a
'tool' to do that. Suggestions ?
Cheers.

The command line tool wavmerge will do this (although it only accepts .wav
files as input and they all need to be the same bitrate/frequency).
wavmerge -o output.wav input1.wav input2.wav input3.wav
There's no option to add silence between the merged files, so I usually
just make a .wav file containing the required amount of silence and merge
it in between the others:
wavmerge -o output.wav input1.wav silence.wav input2.wav silence.wav
input3.wav

If you are looking at a command-line tool for this, sox can concatenate files:
http://sox.sourceforge.net/Docs/Features
I believe there is a way you can insert silence at the beginning of a
file, but you'll have to read the man page on that.
On the other hand, Ardour is a perfectly fine way to do what you want
to do, especially if you need to do any last minute
leveling/compression or EQing to keep the tracks consistent

It's better to learn how to use one tool, even if it should be overkill
for some tasks, than to use several tools. As long as the user doesn't
need braille, I recommend to use a GUI based application, instead of
command line. Ardour 2 IMHO is a good tool for audio recording and
editing.

Yes, it is designed to be that way. The idea being that it can also
always be the right tool. There is something to be said for using a tool
that is comfortable from being used a lot. On the other hand, the unix
idea of using a string of tools that just do one thing well is still
valid.
Having a machine with much more memory and power than needed makes the use
of larger do-everything software valid if the user can spend less time
learning and more time using. Using small tools can be more versatile
though, because the user can think up new ways to connect things that the
do-everything software may not be able to do.
