iTunes - adjust song playback PITCH to A440 (Concert Pitch)

I have a Macbook Pro (newest version - just purchased) and a iPod Touch (3rd Gen, 32G)

I would like to find a reasonably priced App / Program so that I could make songs in iTunes playback at A440 (Concert Pitch) - so I don't have to retune my guitar to play along with a variety of songs.

I find so many songs are above (sharper) or below (flatter) A440. I want to keep the original iTunes song, copy it, edit it (to make it sharper or flater – so at A440) then save it. In other words I want to Tune the song to proper Pitch vs. have to retune my guitar (always keeping my guitar at A4440).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance !

We do this on my buddy's mac with garageband. He said it came with the computer.

I use a program called Transcribe, It's about 50 dollars but is worth every penny as you can change pitch and speed plus pull vocals out of some tracks. If your into working out songs without tab and such like then it's well worth owning.

It's open source, cross platform and has more plugins than you'll know what to do with. I use it all the time. Link.
