Added the possibility of changing the speed of listening to a track [acceleration or slowdown]

Good morning,
I think it would be very useful if there was the possibility to speed up or slow down the playback speed of a track (live), easily with a small button for example.
This can help, for example, when editing podcasts, conferences or voice recordings and looking for a specific phrase, or if you want to listen again and modify without wasting too much time.
Using the J K L keys the recording is much too fast and impossible to understand what the person is saying.
This possibility even exists in the Audacity software (which is nevertheless very simplistic).
THANKS!

It is possible in Preferences>Playback and Recording to alter the speeds at which the JKL keys work. It sounds as though you have it set as 2x playback, and you might get on better with it set a 1x. Personally I'd like to be able to use a variable speed shuttle control to do this, but I don't think we're going to get that option very soon...
