Media play that plays backwards?

Is there such a player that I can find online or buy that will play songs/recordings backwards? Im doing research on backmasking and I need a tool to do it with.

Wavepad is one. When you do get it, open the song through Wavepad, find Edit at the top and click "Select All". Then go to Effects, and click Reverse. Then you can even save the song backwards under File, then "Save File As". Then choose the file format, etc. and you're done.

Audacity can do it.



http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Audacity is a great free audio editing tool. It can play backwards, runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux, and it's free. You should be up and running in less than 5 minutes.



To install Audacity, import an audio file, and play it backwards:



1) Go to http://audacity.sourceforge.net/



2) Click on "Download Audacity 1.2.6"



3) Follow the steps to install the software



4) Once the installation has finished, open Audacity



5) Import the audio by selecting File %26gt;%26gt; Import... %26gt;%26gt; Audio (or press Control Shift I, Command Shift I on a Mac)



6) Navigate to the audio file, select it, and click OK



7) Depending on the size of the audio file and your computer's speed, it may take some time to load the file. Once it is finished, you should see a waveform in the workspace. Highlight it by clicking anywhere on the waveform and pressing Control A (Command A on a Mac)



8) With the track selected, go to Effect %26gt;%26gt; Reverse



That's it. Click the play button to hear the sound backwards. If you only want to reverse a portion of the track, select a portion of the track instead of selecting the entire track.



Hope this helps,
