We investigated this. Unfortunately HTML5 audio (especially mobile devices) doesn't offer a lot of capability in that regards.

I think it's possible to change the speed at the server, after you generate the file/s[1].

longzheng, is there any way to be able to change articles? I'm on ff19, and clicking on a new article just continues the original article. Hovering over the left side of the article shows the "play" symbol, but clicking anywhere there just continues the original article. Not sure if this is a bug or not.

That's weird. It should definitely switch to the new article if you click the picture/play icon or the title. As a workaround, could you try "up/down" arrows? It's possible the HTML5 audio player in FF19 is buggy.

Yeah, doesn't work on FF19 even with the arrow keys. But it did work on Chrome Canary - must be a bug on FF.

edit: It looks like FF19 is complaining about the content-type: "audio/mpeg" when changing articles. Not sure what one it is using, but it does manage to play the first article only.
