How to change key/tempo of any mp3

Just thought I'd share in case someone is not aware of this tactic.

It happens to me a lot I wanna sing some songs outside my range. Examples would be Whitney Houston, "Let It Go" from Disney's "Frozen" etc. You just can't hit that range for various reasons but really wanna sing that song...

No problem! You can use this website to change pitch and tempo of an mp3:

I tested it with Alanah Myles' "Black Velvet", changing pitch by 4 half-tones, and it turned out wonderful! No loss of quality, no issues, even backing vocals sounded as if they were recorded in that exact key.

I don't know whether it's as smooth with all melodies (maybe a lot of instruments might pose a problem, who knows), but you should definitely check it out.

Bonus: If you want to scrape an mp3 from a YouTube video, you can also use other websites for that. :) But I'm not posting them here for obvious reasons.
