That was by design. You don't want all songs to play at that speed, just the song you adjust. If all tracks need speed adjustment, something else is wrong. Actually the speed is also resat if the next song turns out to be the same. So even by your definition the feature is broken. When you claim something else may be wrong than I do not believe you have expierenced the true power of this speedup feature. You may want to try listening to an audio book where each chapter is in a separate file. If the narrator is very slow this will be annoying and you may want to adjust the speed. If you are relaxing while listening to the book you may want 120% speed, but if you are concentrating on the listening then you can probably go to 170% speed and still understand the speech. Wether you choose 120% or 170% you will want the speedup to remain the same until you change it. It will not make sense to reset it between chapters as the narrator is also slow in the next chapter. For music you may be surprised that some tracks totally changes charactaristics when played faster or slower. One of my trance tracks becomes ambient when played at 50% speed. When I am in trance mood I want the track to be played at 100% speed - every time. And when I am in ambient mood I want the track to be played at 50% speed - and not resat at song end. Ok then it sounds buggy after all. As a "workaround" try the kjofol skin-loader, it has that pitch-feature as well. There's just one small buglet, it plays at 100% speed at the start of every file for a small amount of time (audible for music, won't make a huge difference for speech I guess). Kjofol does not work for me: I simply cannot read the small fonts. The player I use _must_ support configurable font sizes and preferably it should behave like a standard KDE-application (e.g. title bar and menu bar should be as I have themed it to be). If the application does things its own way then it takes away the power from me - the user, and I do not see that as user friendlyness. Thanks for the tip, though. noatun has not been part of the KDE 4 release and is no longer maintained. KDE now offers Dragon as a video player and JuK as a music player. Additionally, other popular KDE players have been ported to KDE 4, such as Amarok or Kaffeine. If this issue is still applicable to KDE 4 applications, please add a comment or file a new report.
