ok...so ive followed the 6 step guide for converting mp3s to wavs on audacity...i do every step it says its 11025hz, 16 bit, mono, but its still playing very slow. i made it 11025, then split stereo, then deleted the 2nd one...then made the top one mono then i made it 16 bit but its still playing suuuppper slow...it IS my music though its recognizable somewhat...but its a chicks voice made into a giant male monster growling noise....how can i fix this? its not even ingame yet...just on audacity after those changes, its still low slow

You've changed the frequency in the wrong location, make sure you're changing it from the "Project Rate" drop-down box, lower-left of your screen.
A visual demo from the manual.

I'm afraid I'm having the same problem.
Now, I'm not technologically incompetent, I'm quite the opposite, I program source mods and plugins.
I have NO idea what is up with this. I followed the guide to the period but no luck.
I have set the project rate to 11025hz.
I have set the sample rate to 16-bit.
I have set the sound output to mono.

Any ideas?

Have you tried the sample file in the sticky above? If you suspect an Audacity problem, make sure you are using a stable release (i.e. non-beta).

It's because audacity has the compulsive urge to make clipped sections of mp3's stretch to the length of the original song >_<
I have to copy it into a empty project to make it work.
