I agree with you completely. I'm a semi dedicated musician who is working in this direction. I play in a chamber orchestra and have put some thought into this. For string pieces it's just a simple matter of tuning down a bit. Not a problem. But organs, pianos, harpsichord, brass, wind ect are not easily tune-able to 432. So this is the reasoning behind why big music institutions would never switch.
But there is no reason why we can't create and perform music in whatever frequency we want. Other musicians I've talked to mentioned A444hz as another popular tuning back in the period. The only argument I've encountered (other then the obvious logistical nightmare involved producing non-tuneable instruments) is this math dilemma scholars like to throw at me about the space between notes. It doesn't make sense to them so they obfuscate.

Is it as easy as just converting a song from 440hz to 432hz?
It would help though, but I don't think it will be the change one expects.
We need musicians who actually tune their instrument to 432hz to have a real 432hz experience.
If I were Goebbles Satanic ancestors I would even do something with audio output devices which only allow distorted music.
So to be sure you should make your own music set based on 432hz.
This needs deep research though, with all revelations lately this is definate something to take serious.

444hz is the bridge that resonates with both 432hz and 528hz. I use 444hz a lot in EDM production.

Any links to some?

Hey here is a EDM 432hz retuned playlist I uploaded with some more recent music :)
