How to change playback speed in Windows 10 (TEN!!!)

Hi Tess,

We appreciate your time for posting your concern here in the Microsoft Community.

Please follow the below steps to change the playback speed settings:

You can change the speed at which files play in the Player. For example, you can slow down the playback speed if you're taking notes while watching a training video, or you can speed up the slow sections of a presentation.

• Play a file, and then switch to Now Playing mode.

If you’re in the Player Library, click the Switch to Now Playing button in the lower-right corner of the Player.

• Right-click an open space in the Player (such as to the left of the
  Stop button) , point to Enhancements, and then click
  Play speed settings.
• Move the Play Speed slider to the speed at which you want to play the file, or click the
  Slow, Normal, or Fast links.

To select speeds between the labeled play speeds, in the Play speed settings dialog box, clear the
Snap slider to common speeds check box.

3. To hide the settings, click the Close button in the
Play speed settings dialog box.

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.

 

No way to change the playback speed of media?????

I can't believe there is no way to change the playback speed of audio files in the media player. I had that with an app(core) in WM 5. I listen to tons of podcasts and I always up the speed to 120% or so. There is no way to do it on WP7!! That's
awful, even old iPods had this!

I thought about writing my own since the XNA media player control has APIs for that but then realized since there's no multi-tasking, I can't do anything else while it's playing. This really is a deal breaker...I'm gonna have to take this phone
back and forget about WP7 until a future release. Any idea when/if that will happen????
