Bug: Playback Speed Reduces Audio Quality

[OBIDJON_ABDIEV]

Hello Spotify team,

Today I received the new playback speed feature, and I noticed a problem.

When I change the playback speed (for example, 1.1x, 1.2x, or other speeds), the audio quality becomes noticeably worse. The sound loses clarity and feels compressed or distorted compared to normal playback at 1.0x.

I believe this is a bug rather than the intended behavior. It would be great if Spotify could improve the playback speed algorithm so that changing the speed does not significantly reduce audio quality.

Please investigate this issue and consider fixing it in a future update.

Thank you!
