First off -- I absolutely love this app and literally use it daily.

Is there a way to set in-app settings for a global speed increase to change the value everywhere?

If I'm playing most books at 1.8x, I really don't want or care about the info for how long an audiobook takes at 1x speed. It makes sense that if we set the speed to > 1x, it should change the values all over, no?

I just noticed on the audiobook info page it also says I still have ~2.15 hrs remaining of a 9hr duration too, when in truth I don't and it was less total time.

Thanks for all you do! This app truly is one of the best things I've stumbled across in recent memory and it's only going to get better =)

on second thought, is it even possible to display a different time length than the actual length of the audio file in the OS?

I'm sure the app can display the sped up time well and good, but I think the lockscreen might be an issue

I'm not sure about iOS but I know it would be technically possible in Android by writing some custom controllers. The lockscreen is controlled by native libraries doing the work for us based on the audio file playing. This is similar to #239 in that it would require a lot of customization to implement.

I think this is probably related to some of the work that @ronaldheft started in #372

On iOS in v0.9.71 you will see the chapter track on the lock screen if you have that enabled in the audio player.
