[Podcasts] Adjust Audio Speed of Podcasts (1.5x or 2x)

Submitted by on ‎2016-07-17 12:03 AM
Status: Implemented

I have just discovered podcasts in the Spotify mobile app and as an avid podast fan I'm delighted to finally see this feature!

I would love to be able to alter the speed of a podcast, to play at 1.5X or 2X the default speed as per the default apple podcast app I currently use.

 

As many podcasts I listen to are very long (up to 2 hours), until such time as the playback speed can be altered I will use the apple podcast app to listen to podcasts.

Hey folks! 

 

Thanks for adding your vote to this idea. 

 

Podcast speed controls should now be available across all devices. You can play at speeds of 0.5x, 0.8x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x and 3x. 

 

The desktop controls can be found in the bottom right corner and the controls on mobile can be found to the right of the play button, when you're playing a podcast. 

 

Thanks!

I won’t listen to podcasts with Spotify without speed control. The podcasts are created by cast speaking slowly as they know folks increase speed using iPod.  Therefore at normal speed they are too slow.

If increasing the playspeed (on music) would only be avaible on other services, I would possibly use them instead (on music that they provide as well) (exception for YouTube, as my internet **bleep** & it requires the user to load the video by default).

I would love to have this feature, it makes it so much easier to listen to podcasts at an accelerated speed because makes the timing fit more into a more digestable timeframe

This needs to be a thing for me to consider using Spotify for audiobook purposes. Most people I know listen to their podcasts and such on Amazon Music, Audible and Youtube solely because they provide this service. I imagine it would be incredibly easy to implement, and it baffles me it hasn't been done already.
