Describe the feature/enhancement

Hey there, first off THANK YOU as this app is amazing and I get a ton of use out it!

I usually listen to my audiobooks at 1.6-1.7x speed. I usually have to go to https://asc.pixelofink.com to find out what the actual runtime is, as it obviously will be shorter than the given runtime.

I was wondering if you could have a setting for "default" increased playback speed and calculate all runtimes based on that>?

Thanks and always here to chat more if you'd like more info / explanation.

Hey I think this is already how it works unless I'm misunderstanding. For example in the screenshot below I changed the playback speed to 1.5x and all of the times adjusted relative to that.

ahhh I must have missed it in the actual player. I was thinking along the lines of Library View, but this is one more click and totally reasonable! Thanks! I'll go ahead and close!

Actually, how about showing both the "converted" time remaining, as well as the 1x speed time remaining? Show both scales.
