[Noisebridge-discuss] iPhone podcast play speed

[Eric Boyd]

Rubin,

That is totally awesome!  There is of course one final trick needed to 
actually make this work: the tracks must be set to be "audiobook" type:

In iTunes, select all files to be changed.  Right click and "Get Info" 
(yes edit multiple files), tab to Options, change "Media Kind" to "Audio 
Book".  Then sync to iPhone, of course.

I have tested this on my iPhone and it works great.  Thanks so much for 
the pointer!

I found this really interesting post as well:

It explains how to change the speed setting while in the iPod player 
(not going back to the Setting menu), for iPods.  But it doesn't seem to 
transfer to the iPhone, since we don't have the center button.  I 
experimented a bit trying to find the equivalent, but no luck.  Anyone 
else have any luck?
