I'll add my vote to this request. I've tried the various plugins suggested before (including "Take It Easy"), and either they don't work at all, or the sound quality of the faster playback is so poor that it's useless. Here's my post from last summer about these plugins: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=57377#p304698

To those who are using other audio programs that do allow you to increase the speed, which ones do you recommend, and how good is the adjusted audio quality?

I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I'm currently forced to do so in other software due to Media Monkey not having this feature.

If implemented I would also request that the playback speed for each podcast is saved. I listen to different podcasts at different speeds so it would be very convinient if I didn't have to manually set the speed each time, especially when queing several podcasts which need different amount of speed increase.

I second that, I'd like to play my hardcore tracks a bit faster at 175 bpm or so.

I would like to increase the play speed also.

Just to echo this, I used to listen to a number of american tech podcasts on my phone on the way to work, but to deal with the excessivly slow way they talk I played them on double speed.

Now I don't commute any more and love using mediamonkey but can't seem to find how to do this. I can obviously use MM to manage the podcasts and then play them using vlc or similar, but would prefer to use your app for everything :)

This can be achieved with a winamp 2 compatible DSP.
Try "Take It Easy" DSP. Look in top menu on this web site: Addons|DSP.

Other plugins are available on http://winamp.com
