Playback Speeds - Audiobooks, podcasts etc.

[Cpfoxhunt]

Hello,

I've just switched to WP8 from an iphone, and there is one feature that I have found myself missing. In Itunes, you can tell a file that it is an 'audiobook', and then on ios devices you can playback at 2x the speed.

Is there any way to do something equivalent on the WP8 phones? I only seem to be able to sync podcasts on a mac from itunes, but there is no podcast option to alter playback speed.

It would be a pain to have to recode all of my lectures etc to play at double speed, and it would stop me putting it back to 1x when there's a tricky bit. Any advice is very welcome!

Agreed. This is such a nice featured to have. I wish someone could create a great podcast app that had the controls that the iOS podcast player (although it's buggy) has.
