Subject: Feature request - variable playback speed
Hi Mikkel -

First, let me add my thanks to everyone else's.  Your player is very helpful to me.

I would like to be able to play my recordings at multiples of their recorded speed.  The human ear can work a lot faster than the human mouth!  I often watch videos at 1.5 to 2 times their recorded speed.  I find no loss in comprehension.  In fact, I took many college courses online and sped nearly all of them.

I know this isn't a high priority, but if it's not to hard to implement and doesn't take you off your schedule, I'd appreciate if you would consider it.

All the best,
Geoff Fox

I think most people are watching their recordings in normal speed  :-D But it should be possible to implement and it would be a nice feature when you want to "fast-run" through certain parts of a recordings. The "problem" is that the audio must be resampled on-the-fly. But that surely is possible.

I will add it to the development-plan, but it is not top-priority ;)

Cheers,

\Mikkel

If you get a chance, you should take a look.  A few of the DVD player programs do this.  It's less jarring and more useful than you might think.

I really was surprised that the limiting factor is how fast you can talk, not how fast you can listen!
