Is there a feature to speed up play? This is a useful and common feature on other podcasts and audiobook apps.

Adding my voice to this conversation. This is really a must-have feature that is available on almost every other platform I use.

Another upvote for this feature request please. Why is this request taking so long- unable to leverage Sonos for Audible or Storytel.

Yet another vote to be able to speed up playback through Sonos. Seriously... this can't be that hard. I *thought* I loved Sonos but these small, silly setbacks are starting to add up for me, and I'm considering returning my entire setup for something more modular/adaptable.

+1 how is this extremely basic feature not available?

I shouldn't have to walk around my house playing podcasts on my phone's speaker when I have $2000 worth of Sonos speakers throughout the place.

Get a Roam and/or use AirPlay. My wife uses our Roam to listen to her books, bringing it with her as she moves around the house. She AirPlays to it from whatever book app she is using.

If you don’t want to carry the Roam with you, then you could group the bluetooth audio with the other rooms in your house.

As a general comment on the request though, when listening to audio on a single device, you can download the content to create a large buffer, which makes it easier to play audio at faster speed. With multiroom audio, one of your speakers/rooms is downloading the audio and then has to share the audio with the other Sonos rooms that it’s grouped with. A bit more challenging I would think.

Sonos, please make this feature (adjust playback speed, faster/slower for all devices) available.
Sonos, are you listening to your user base? Its been more than 3 years with no news or information on this feature.

I’m seriously considering moving to a new system that can accommodate variable speed playback for at least Audible, Spotify, and Pocketcasts. Make this happen or lose me as a customer.

Is this feature in the pipeline at all? Podcasts and audio books is a growing part of all streamed sound which you of course know and many people like to ve able to adjust the play speed.
