Great Time Saver!

Simple and it works! (Although I don't understand why Apple didn't just build this into iTunes?)
Previously, I used iTunes to manage podcast subscriptions, but I listened to them on my iPhone or in VLC (so I could control playback speed).
Speed-Up saves me the time of locating the files and playing them via VLC *and* the reduced playback time.

I really like the preference for choosing the speed presets *I* want to use.

It took me a minute to figure out that Speed-Up requires OS X Sandbox Authorization for the actual media files, not just the iTunes folder (my media is on an external drive). After that it works great (10 podcast episodes, so far).

Thanks!

Worked when first installed, now it does nothing

App seemed to work fine first time it was installed.
A few days later I noticed it was doing nothing.
The icon won’t show up in itunes bar (maybe not enough room?) but when I can find it, I can edit preferences and the settings, but it doesn’t affect the playback speed.
WTH?

Echoes are unbearable!

I bought this app so I can listen to podcasts that had good contact but with slow speakers.

This app doesn't distort the voice, but adds a HUGE echo which gets worse the faster we go. The echoes render the speaker incomprehensible faster than 1.5x.
