Is there a simple program that plays audio at a reduced rate?

[okey]

I'm trying to transcribe some lectures and I've been unable to find a program for OSX that will play my mp3s slowly so I can transcribe better.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

I think QuickTime will do it, load the MP3 in Quicktime and assuming you have tiger, Just open up the AV Controls (from the Window menu or Command-K)

You can change the speed from 1/2 to 3x (obviously you'd be slowing it down 😉 )
