ASD works fine unregistered; it’s the ‘Best Practice’ program that’s giving the illegal operation pop-ups when opening.
I use ASD but as unregistered, meaning it will only play the 1st 3 tracks of a CD or 1/3 of a sound file.
To get around that, I burn any tracks I want to learn onto a CD-RW and put it through AMazing SD. When done, simply wipe the CD and burn the next three.
But I’ll try downlaodingthe codecs too.

Marcus,
do a search for Error 139 and Amazing Slowdowner and you’ll see the issue. It’s an artificial error that they put in there for people using it unregistered. I had the same problem and once I purchased it no more problems.
It’s a great program, I just wish it had a better and bigger interface and supported song lists.
Hmmmm…I’ve just tried downloading two different codec packs, twice, because the first pack I tried - Klite - finished download after only 2 minutes (dial-up) and when I went instal I got a message thet files were corrupted. So I tried a different pack -10mb, download finished after 4.8mb…same thing, corrupted files

I didn’t read Marcus’ post properly…tsk..tsk

… have another glass of Merlot mate. 
No idea why you’d get corrupted dls from there, could be lots of things.
There are loads of mirror sites offering codecs/packs though.
Winrar also has the weird habbit of telling you an archive is corrupt when the version of the archive is newer than the winrar version trying to unpack it.
Haven’t actually cracked it open yet. Maybe that’s my problem 
Well stuff me red and call me ‘Pheasant’, get on with it mate!
Two notes - BP isn’t free, it just uses a LGPL library (which is free). This doesn’t require the author to release source, and I see no hint he intends to. Second, it is only in version 0.92, meaning you have no guarantee of functionality. Might be one to bookmark and come back to, though.
For this kind of stuff I use Audacity, as there is so much that can be done with it. Although you can’t just pop in a CD and play it slowly, you can do much else in the way of playing around with recording and doubletracking yourself, and other exciting things, like fade-ins, woohoo.

I’m a fan of a plug-in for Winamp called Pacemaker, the older versions are free, the new one is $10 shareware. Pitch up to ± 1.00 oct., Tempo + 100% or - 43%, with the old version.
I’m listening to John Kelly play the fiddle an octave low and 100% faster, sounds like a guy on speed playing one of those Japanese zithers!
