Need more increments for playback speed in audio files

Would like to see an additional playback speed increment for playing audio files. I proof audiobooks and sometimes the speed at 1.0 is too slow, yet the next increment of 1.25 is too fast for this purpose. 1.10 would be most helpful!

    Hi Harry! Since I came across your comment, I just can’t help myself (I did not come here with this question, but maybe it’ll give you a laugh!)

    I’m going to go ahead and guess there’s no chance you can provide an analog pitch/speed style control vs the ‘retain original pitch’ time-stretching algorithm currently implemented, is there? lol

    I know I much prefer my audio to drop or rise in pitch when using speed controls (like tape/vinyl/…and samplers…) but…

    …ok, ok, fine! I get it! Forget I mentioned it! (I’m used to the 3 step process it takes me to download, export/import, and alter speed in AUM at this point, but the desire still pangs me daily while I’m playing back the day’s sessions via the Dropbox App! But, I have accepted that I am to be forever saddened by this…)

    : )

    Have a good one!

    Have you tried a forced CTRL+R on the page to see if you are viewing a cached version?

    So I am not seeing the slider you mentioned. I still only see the pop up.

    Hello Ree H! I'm an engineer that works on audio/video playback. Thanks for the feedback. I've replaced the playback speed selector with a slider, so you can pick any speed from 0.5x to 3x in 0.1x increments.
