Research direction

Start by finding the playback-speed slider and the playback controls it belongs to, then read how the app currently applies speed changes. Decide whether the presets are fixed or user-configurable; done means a listener can switch to specific speeds more easily than by dragging the slider.

Description

enhancement

I really love the option to adjust the playback speed (since I use the app not only for listening to music, but also for podcasts, voice recordings, and downloaded YouTube audio). However, adjusting the playback speed manually with the current slider can be a bit tricky and imprecise.

It would be a great quality-of-life improvement to add playback speed preset buttons or let the user create them (e.g., 1.5x, 2.0x, 2.5x, 3.0x), similar to how the AntennaPod (open source podcast app) handles it. This would make it much faster and easier to switch to a specific playback speed without having to manually drag a slider every time
