Where did you down load it from ?
Most websites offer you option of transposing. Is it a backing track ?
You can try audacity which is free and then drag and drop your mp3 into there and change the key.

Another vote for audacity. Ten minutes from download to use. Get the "lame" MP3 plugin and you're good to go.

Open the file, select all, go to effects and change pitch option. Piece of piss :o)

I use Cool Edit (early version of Audacity I think). Great piece of software, remove vocals, pitch shift etc.

audacity for me as well!.......I slow alot of tracks down with it for some-one I'm teaching, to play along to!...Easy-peasy to use. When saving the files, just "export as mp3". Cracking little program to use but dont forget the little "lame" plug-in which you download for free and 'run' it once only!....Simples!
