Black Hole
May contain traces of nut
I'm having difficulty framing a satisfactory google search for this, so perhaps somebody on here has a clue where to look.
Idea: adjust the pitch/tempo for the playback of an MP3 file by forcing the player to reproduce it at a different sample rate than the original, by tweaking the relevant field in the MP3 file headers. This is deliberately not the same as reading the audio into an editor and exporting a new MP3 resampled at the desired rate - that would incur loss of quality (and end up at the same pitch/tempo unless the waveform was stretched in the editor first).
Possible? If so, how to access the metadata and make the tweak? Is a non-standard sample rate field going to crash the player (try it and see!)?
