Hi.

I don't use deezer app to listen to my podcasts as I always listen to them at a quicker speed (as I do my audio books) - I think this would be a great tool on the app.

Ability to listen at higher speeds (eg 1.25x, 1.4x, 1.5x, 2.0x speed) which is useful for audiobooks and podcasts. (Audible, Google Audiobooks and YouTube etc. have this feature)

Dito. Audible , Pocket Casts, Google Audiobooks and youtube support this feature. Would be great to have it also for Deezer!

Hi there, sorry for the very late reply. I have noted this one down, make more users vote for it to get more attention to this one 😉

Add this feature and I'm in.

This one feature is the only thing you guys need to go mainstream I the podcast area. Look at pocketcasts as the standard. Do what they do and voila. Variable speed control is key.

We're considering this, but no ETA yet :)


I would like to suggest adding the option to control the playback speed of podcasts, such as 1.5x 1.7x 2.0x.

Thanks.

Thanks @r0i we're also waiting for updates on this (community team) - I believe we should have more news during the course of this year - we'll keep you updated :thumbsup_tone2:

We've just launched a dedicated app for Audiobooks as well - it looks beautiful :v_tone2:


We're still missing the playback speed control function.

It would make our user experience much better and favorable. Is it so complex to implement?

Just to give you an example of how this feature can impact your business:

 

I'm learning French since pas mal de temps. Podcast-wise, I've been mostly using TuneIn radio. Today I decided to give Deezer a try. So, I installed it and created a trial account, planning to go premium for a few months tomorrow (too lazy to find my wallet!!).

But I realized that this feature does not exist. So i immediately changed my mind and went back to TuneIn.

 

Still want to try it because #BuyFrench :D

This is a deal breaker for me. If I can't adjust the speed playback of podcasts I won't use Deezer for my podcasts. I'm loving the app so far but I'll have to go back to my other apps of this doesn't change. Pleeeaase Deezer make this happen.

How is this still not a thing in the App?

I don’t wanna use 2-3 apps for my podcasts. Get that feature in the app ASAP. It’s not a big deal. 
i like the Interface and suggestions of music in deezer better than in Spotify. But if this feature isn’t coming anytime soon. I’m off to Spotify again.

I personally don’t like having podcasts in the music app I use (It would be nice to disable the podcasts section, BTW).

But, if you like it, I’ll try to help: another nice feature related with this is the availability to skip each moment of silence in the podcast (each time no sound is heard, skip it). This is present in Google Podcasts, and it’s a really nice addition.
