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.

    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?

    I completely agree @r0i  this is a must! :)

    I'm a "Deezerhead" (fanboy) and just love music! (Please note even though I love all things Deezer I do not work for Deezer and therefore cannot assist with account issues etc.)

    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.

    Hi everyone. I am writing to update you regarding the variable playback speed on podcasts
    At the moment this feature is available for Android users only and you can activate it on Deezer Labs (Favourites> Gear wheel> Deezer Labs).
    Thanks :relaxed:
