I figured out how to do the loops. The first three read-only edit boxes are the hh mm and ss of the loop start time. The next three are the hh mm and ss of the stop time. 1. Play until you get to where you want to start and press numpad 0 2. Press Alt-n ( loop time now. This will populate the first three boxes with the current play time. 3. then hit numpad 0 again and stop when you want to end the loop. 4. Press Alt-W to set the loop end time in the other three boxes. 5. check the play in loop mode checkbox (Alt-L) and press numpad 0 to start looping. Pretty neat. The carioca is pretty okay, but not always a good result. thanks, Joey for the great tip! I really could have used this just a couple months ago.

What a great program this is! The only thing I can't figure out is how to do the looping, though. In the help file you get information about looping, but it talks about the arrows at the right side of the screen and I haven't been able to find any way to access them. Also, I'd like to know, if there is any way to rewind the track instead of going right back to the beginning. Anyway, really a great product. Actually, I've been looking for something like that for quite some time.

Thanks for working on this! However, be careful not to write "brest practice" instead of "best practice" as you did, since it might crate more excitement than you intended. It sure did here. *LOL* Another great slowdown utility is Transcribe! from Seventh String Software in the UK. I can't comment much on it's level of accessibility; just mentioning it as a possible option. and, there's a plugin for Winamp for slowing things down as well. Thanks again for working on this.
