So, I was f.ckin' around with Rockbox, and I noticed that you can change the pitch in real-time, while a songs playing, so I figured you guys might find it really useful. You can slow it down or speed it up, which can be comical. You can also adjust it by semitones.

Putting on Rockbox
1. Go here: http://build.rockbox.org/
2. Read the manual for your player: http://www.rockbox.org/manual.shtml
3. A) If you have an iPod, I recommend using bootloader 2.5: http://www.kankon.org/RockBox/ipodpatcher.exe
B) Put this file in the root of your iPod. /popattach{401950,Upload}

4. Boot it up, if you have an iPod, go to database and let it create one. itdb2tc.exe always leaves a bunch of songs out, so I never use it but it's on the rockbox site if you want.
5. Go find "Violent" by 2pac, when you start it and your on the while playing screen hold the center button and select "Pitch", then slow it down a bunch.
6. Let me know if that song bumps when it's slowed.

Hopefully someone finds this useful, I know I will, since the only way I could do it before was get out the slow, old laptop with the dead battery and run an extension cord out to the car.

This site has some cool stuff, including how to crack the games.

Click "Apple" for all the iPod stuff.

can you boost bass? or change bass frequencies?

There is an adjustable EQ, so yes, you can boost the bass. If by changing the bass frequencies, you mean just lowering the bass, say below 60 Hz, and leaving everything above 60 Hz the same, then no. I'm sure someone could make a plug-in that could do that though. Just a low pass, and then adjust it by semitones.
