1. A method of changing the playback speed of a digitised time domain audio signal which has been transformed into a wavelet coded audio signal comprising a stream of frames, comprising:

  • selecting periodic ones of frames from said stream of wavelet coded frames;

    modifying said stream of wavelet coded frames by dropping said selected frames from said wavelet coded audio signal to leave a modified stream of frames or by replicating said selected frames and including said replicated frames in said wavelet coded audio signal to form a modified stream of frames;

    wavelet decoding consecutive frames of said modified stream of frames to construct a modified time domain signal which approximates pitch of said digitised time domain audio signal but has a different playback speed.
