Speed Up or Slow Down Spotify Playback While working on a train commute

💡 Overview

Spoken content rarely suits normal speed. You work in a moving, noisy place with a small screen.

Playback rate runs from 0.5x to 2.0x, with presets at 1.0x, 1.25x, 1.5x and 2.0x. The extension locks the rate so it persists as tracks change, rather than snapping back to normal every time a new item starts. That matters for podcasts and audiobooks, and can be fun for slowing music down to learn a part.

🧭 A Day of Commuters with Laptops

You work in a moving, noisy place with a small screen.

The problem: A cramped trackpad makes tab switching slow and fiddly.

The fix: Keyboard shortcuts beat a tiny trackpad every time.

🚀 Try It in Three Steps

1. Open the popup and pick a speed preset.
2. Choose 1.25x or 1.5x for podcasts, or 0.5x to study a passage slowly.
3. Return to 1.0x with one tap when you want normal speed.

✨ What You Get

• Playback speed 0.5x to 2.0x: Presets at 1.0x, 1.25x, 1.5x and 2.0x, locked across track changes.
• Mouse-wheel volume: Scroll over the player for fine volume steps, plus one-tap mute memory.
• Local focus analytics: Daily and weekly focus time, a seven-day chart and top artists and tracks, all stored on your device.

Note: it works with the Spotify Web Player at open.spotify.com only, and does not control the desktop app.
