How to Stretch a Sound File?

Anyone know of a simple freeware program which will stretch an MP3 or
WAV file?

The original movie soundtrack was corrupted and while I have repaired
& synched the major part of the sound to the video, I need to
"stretch" the audio by one minute to a total of 115 minutes.

Thank you,
 
There's a tempo changer called Pacemaker, a plugin for Winamp, might do
what you're looking for.

Audioblast is a program to edit sounds. The program works with
WAV-files, but can also open and save MP3 and WV.

The program is a little slow, but it can do really cool things with your
sounds.

Program to edit sounds.
Has all the standard desktop-functions (cut, paste, delete, mix). Record
your own sound and let it be mixed with the sound you've already opened!
You can make the speed 'changing'. The sound will be played slightly
slower or faster. Cool effects: soften, alien, satellite, creaking,
shrink. You can use the Undo-function unlimited times. The figure can be
displayed in several ways. The screenshot above shows 'Space'. The two
channels of a stereo sound are displayed seperated and you can edit them
seperated. Convert your message to Morse code. Of course you can also
add echo, change the volume and reverse the sound.

Haven't tried it - reported to work for speed changes - *but* very, very
slowly. YMMV . . .

Thanks Susan, but it keeps crashing loading a wav file <1mb.
I installed his VBfile before installing the program, so I am
confident that my system is ok.

I do edit a lot of movies and sound files. I just don't like the way
Cool Edit works.

Thanks for your effort.

Cheers,

I have searched for such a program 2 years ago. Nearly all programs that
changed the length of an audio file also changed the pitch. The only
program that did not do that was Waveflow 1.0 Beta. It worked on my old
W98se system, but not on my new W2K one.
I can't remember where I got it from.
