Speed Up or Slow Down Spotify Playback While playing online chess

💡 Overview

Spoken content rarely suits normal speed. A single game needs deep concentration and no loud surprises.

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 Online Chess Players

A single game needs deep concentration and no loud surprises.

The problem: A blaring song at a critical move is distracting.

The fix: Use pause-only before a critical game and resume after.

🚀 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

• Sleep timer: Presets of 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes with a live countdown that auto-pauses playback.
• Floating mini-player: Popup with play, pause, next, previous, shuffle, repeat, seek and a Liked Songs toggle.
• Dynamic album-art backdrops: A blurred, color-adaptive background drawn from the current artwork, in dark or light theme.

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