I have a sound file I would like to modify the pitch of. The file is stored in an MP3. I have searched the internet but have been unsuccessful in finding any libraries or algorithms that would allow me to modify the pitch.

Any examples and/or literature would be appreciated

Answer 1

It's not really clear from your question whether you only want to change the playback speed (like the pitch fader on a turntable does) or whether you want to change the pitch without affecting the playback speed. If the latter, you need to use a time stretching/pitch shifting algorithm. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_time-scale/pitch_modification

In any case, you'd first have to decode the MP3 into PCM audio. This thread might give you some pointers:

As for doing pitch shifting in Java, there's some more info here:
