Changing time

[Black Sabbath]

Hi all. I am making a cd for my mates daughter to use in her dance class.
Two of the songs needed to be shortened to 2 mins. I did this using nero wave editor. The third song cant just be shortened because the bit where it would ideally end is just short of 2 mins. So i have cut it down to the right end part of the song. I just need to "stretch it out a bit" so it is exactly 2 mins. Any clues? Can I do this with Nero wave editor? or could one of you clever blokes do it for me then email me the finished article?

Sorry for being a numpty! Also she needs it by tomorrow (.

You could try Audacity and stretch it, then use the pitch control to make it sound better as stretching will lower the frequencies. Audacity can accept WAV or MP3 audio.

use GOLDWAVE links on this site

ive used goldwave to stretch audio out, just remember though...the music will play slower
( you may not notice it... or maybe you will... give it a try and find out)

I tried it with Audacity. Add the Lame MP3 codec to output MP3 from the program.

Drop the file into Audacity.
Under 'Edit>Select All'.
Under 'Effect>Change Tempo'. I stretched it to 119 seconds or 4.8%.
Then 'Effect>Change Pitch', increased the pitch by 4.8%.
Saved out under 'File>Export as MP3'. It will ask the location of the Lame enc.dll the first time you use it.

But you may have figured this out already. (If I did it correctly, that is. But it sounded OK to me.)
