Default Re: Will these old tapes be playable?

Audacity is a free program that can do this using the speed control (changing pitch and tempo just like changing speed on a tape recorder). If a tape was recorded at 7 1/2 IPS and a machine with only 3 3/4 IPS is available, Audacity can record from the low speed machine and then the replay speed can be set to double.

The link below covers changing speed with or without a change of pitch.
