Hi,
Not for MMA but is for MM5 https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=15051 which can then be considered adding into MMA. I'll se ewith others if same thing can be added to MMA alongside MM5.

Hi. Is this being tracked on Mantris? I'd love to see where this is up to.

e.g. https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=16006

I forgot to add that I use another app to download Podcast that has variable speed. If there was MM variable speed I could use one app instead of three. Please add variable speed!

Please add variable speed. I currently use MM to sync my audiobooks then use Smart AudioBook to listen to them. It would be nice to have to use only one app.

Just sayin,
Jim

Make the speed customisable please (eg 1.08 for example)

As a dj, I like to listen to tracks slightly slowed or fastened to see how they render

Would be really great

Thanks Peke,

Also I have a related wishlist feature that may be easier to consider upfront than to go back and change later.

For podcasts, it would be nice if playback speed was saved as a preference "per subscription/podcast", rather than a global setting. Of course a global default would also be a helpful start. The reason I bring this up is that if you listen to huge variety of podcasts like me, some people are already fast talkers, some slow, etc.

I'm not as familiar with listening to audiobooks so I can't come up with an equivalent example, sorry.

Thank you for the reply!

Please also remember that silence/gap removal is also an important option.

It's very strange to be listening to a lecture at 2.5x speed and then have full 1 second or longer gaps of silence.

Hi,
This is something that we are considering available solutions in next MMA versions.

FYI You are not only one needing this (I like to listen Audiobooks in different speed on different occasions).

Is there any update on this feature request? I've been using MMA pro for podcasts only for years now. I'm surprised variable speed playback was never added. It seems like a standard feature of just about every audio app.

I, too, have been waiting around for years on this one. Anything to report?

Re: [REQ] Variable Play Speed

So this has been a standard feature in most competing apps for several years now.

Any update?

I totally agree this variable play speed should be essential to all such programs because listening to audiobooks and podcast is increasing exponentially. I would like to use it both on my phone and also in windows, but here it is not possible. :(
Please fix this simple task and you would get much more users no questions asked on the next day you change it!

Please review this feature request again.

Not only is variable playback speed (with stable pitch) already standard with almost all audiobook and podcast players, many of them now have silence removal as well. That means that they analyze the file for gaps and shorten them during playback.

I use mediamonkey heavily but the only reason I haven't switched to a new app is that most podcast apps don't allow you to play your own library. Since there are already libraries out there that will do this, it shouldn't be a huge project to implement.

This is a pain point for your users. Thank you for your continued efforts to improve the product.

Sorry, but I have to strongly disagree that variable play speed "is not one of essential ones but rather nice to have features".

At a minimum, this would be useful for those who want to listen to books or podcasts at increased speed.

I was hoping to leave the iUniverse, but as this is not planned to be placed in the system any time soon I will be stuck. Also that tells me that my purchase of MediaMonkey Pro for my android is wasted money. So glad that I have not yet purchased the full license for the Windows desktop version.

There are a bunch of folks who use Media Monkey to play music for dance classes. The variable speed function is a necessity, not a "nice to have." The sooner available for android use, the better.
