 @a1e52b69 @916a3200 I bet a sensible app could spot the presence of a timed value split, see that the original remote item is music, and drop the speed down to x1. Seems a programmable setting, and not a thing that needs a new field in the RSS.

 @92f75699 @a1e52b69 agreed..that's what I imagined eventually in apps during playback.

Playback speed: [1.3x]
Reduce to 1x during music? [✔️]

 @92f75699 @916a3200 @a1e52b69 Yes, we talked a lot about it with the chapters spec.  The discussion was around marking a chapter as 1x speed.  There was pushback on it, but I don't remember the exact reason. Maybe abuse or overuse?

 @fce803cc @92f75699 @916a3200 yeah I can easily see advertising getting put on 1x speed too.
Although then you could have a setting in the app to ignore automatic speed adjustments for each show.

 @fce803cc @92f75699 @916a3200 @a1e52b69 I would totally abuse that feature.

 @6a75920f @fce803cc @916a3200 @a1e52b69 It's the hierarchy for all podcast apps (or should be)

1. Respect the user
2. Respect the creator
3. Respect those who pay for it (if not #1 or #2)
4. Respect the network (the pipes/tubes/services/directories)

The creator's wishes should come second to the user's wishes in an ideal world.

 @0bbfb2de @916a3200 @a1e52b69 “Change speed automatically within episodes?”

No human needs to know what a remote item is
