Android music playback speed change

Question

Is there a way to slow down / speed up the music playback speed, I am currently using the MediaPlayer class and cannot find any features that do this.

Is there a way to play music with variable speed?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, MediaPlayer does not allow this. You can vote for this feature, which will be enabled on Android by default here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1961

The best apps that support it that I found are ACast (which has very good support for downloading podcasts, mainly when I use it to speed up audio files) and Astra Nova Player (this could be your replacement MediaPlayer completely )

Hope this helps.
