Transpose, Transcribe, and Slow Down Music (MP3/WAV) with Slow MP3 - Ubuntu/Linux Mint



Slow MP3 is a tool written in Java that can play either MP3 or WAV files and allows users to do the following:


  • Transcribe/Transpose song to any key
  • Slow down tempo
  • Loop song parts
  • Identify notes and chords

Since this tool is written in Java, you need to have one of these packages installed in Ubuntu/Linux Mint:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
or
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

You can now download Slow MP3 to your home directory with these commands:

mkdir -p ~/Slow-MP3 && cd ~/Slow-MP3 
wget -c http://goo.gl/tnreI -O SlowMP3.jar

Start the application with this command:

java -jar ~/Slow-MP3/SlowMP3.jar
