Program that slows music down but doesn't distort the pitch

What programs do you guys use for this? I'm starting to get into trying to write stuff out by ear and I'm really into Tower of Power.. And you know how that can go sometimes...

Excellent product for learning music by ear.

Playing it at 33 rpm would adjust the pitch wouldn't it?

Thats how I learned how to play. If there is a change in pitch its not very noticable.

I downloaded the trial version of The Amazing Slowdowner and it seems awesome! I think I'm going to shell out the 50 bucks today and register it!
