@Paul_Rios If you’re listening to podcasts or audiobooks, you can go to Controls > Playback Speed in the menu bar of the new apps.

@wetfishpc 😱

I do mind…

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

@alexandertlane Does it still happen, if you use a different shortcut? Or do you mean the media keys on your keyboard?

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

@MadhuSharma Just a short update: I ran into some unrelated problems, so it might take a bit longer to release the update. Your suggestions make a lot of sense, so I'll definitely add them.

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

@MadhuSharma Bug 1: Could you send me the link to one or two affected podcasts?
Bug 2: That's a great idea! I'll do that.

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

@MadhuSharma Ok, thanks for confirming. I'll look into it and release an update soon.

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

@MadhuSharma Sometimes audio books are marked as music. Do you see them when you switch to the "Audiobooks" section of iTunes or only in "Music"?

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

@MadhuSharma 1) I'll look into that.
2) Please try setting the quality to "Suitable for music" (in preferences)
3) Which kinds do you have selected?

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

@indernagra I was able to reproduce the problem when using "Suitable for voice" quality. I'll look into this.
For now, changing the quality setting should make it work again. Please let me know if it doesn't.

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

@indernagra What speed are you using? What version of macOS/iTunes are you using? What quality setting do you use and does it still happen if you change it. (Speed-Up > Preferences... > General)

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

@indernagra Could you try playing an older podcast that worked before? Does it also happen when playing music?

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

Speed-Up 2.4 is available on the Mac App Store. It improves playback quality of spoken audio content. https://t.co/ujwQ9GlCSX

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

@Mathew_Lucas Thank you. The problem is the algorithm. I added an option to use a different one that might work better. The update should be available in a few days (or after the holidays, depending on App Review).

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

@Mathew_Lucas Could you send me an audio recording?

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

@AGlingeanu Did you try to delete and re-download the app? Are you signed into the same Apple ID you used to buy it?

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

@BryanWarman No, I’m sorry. It requires El Capitan or newer.

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

Speed-Up lets you change the playback speed of podcasts and audiobooks directly in iTunes. Try it for free: https://t.co/8F1u6dW027

[WetFish Software @wetfish]

Transitioning to free with in-app purchase business model. Speed-Up won’t be available on the Mac App Store for the next few hours.

You can also disable pitch correction. Try it, if you’re not satisfied with the way the app sounds.
