Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I listen to a book at the day and a episode of a series to fall asleep. I never want to listen to my night books other than 1x. I have to switch speeds every day.

Other usecases maybe: podcasts at higher speed (which may have it's own series or library too).

Describe the solution you'd like

Easy: add option "remember playbackspeed per book"

Describe alternatives you've considered

Advanced (optimal for my usecase): Add a option with a dropdown list:

Remember Playback speed: 
- Always (default)
- per Book
- per Series                *would be my setting        
- per Library

Would you expect this selected playback speed to sync with the server?

sorry did a bad job in searching with this one

Would you expect this selected playback speed to sync with the server?

yes (but would not matter much)

Ah okay then this belongs in the server repo. It's unlikely this is added anytime soon if at all because of the UI/UX challenges so I'll put as a dupe of that existing issue

If it just remember it on the client side, it would be sufficient. At least a lot better than switching all the time.
If that would be easier to implement.
