If you use a Mac, the free EasyBeat demo allows you to regulate the tempo of the midi playback to your liking while watching the music go by. Ronimusic's Amazing Slow Downer allows you to slow down a CD (or mp3 file) up to 400% so you can practice with it! Their Sweet Midi Player allows you to pan any midi channel easily between left and right so you can put your part on one channel and the rest on the other.
