Rip the audio and then adjust pitch in software and play back without the CD?

Thanks. That had occurred to me, but I was wondering if there was a direct method. Also a bit suspicious that DRM-walls might inhibit doing it that way. cd
I have never seen any CD Protection that actually stops cdparanoia from getting a rip. I've see protection that will slow it down. Maybe I am just buying hugely unfashionable CD's that nobody bothers protecting though :)
The more I think about it the more I think that pitch shifted direct CD playback isn't possible on regular PC hardware, I think any software that did this would have to resort to doing DAE (ripping) on the fly and buffering it. At that point it is going to be subject to the same limitations as far as falling foul of copy protection.
