Hi Travis, You're perfectly correct about being able to control playback speed with QuickTime Player (and VLC, for that matter), and I used the A/V window access of QuickTime Player all through Snow Leopard. However, the reason new users aren't familiar with this is that the default version of

Hello listers, Can someone remind me how I can speed up play back of a podcast or book on the iPhone in the music app? I'm pretty sure I read there was a way but now can't remember. Also, I believe we could not do that in iTunes. Has that changed? I'm sure even the sighted world would like t
