Speed Adjustments

(Updated 2020-8; BallroomDJ version 3.29.24)

Speed adjustments apply to all songs in all types of playlists.

Speed control is not available with VLC versions 2.1.0-2.1.5 on the Windows operating system.

The speed adjustment for a song is changed in the song editor or by using the Quick Edit menu.

Main Music Player Window

To use the Quick Edit menu with a currently playing song, first adjust the speed to its proper level for the current song. Select the
Quick Edit menu, then select the Save Speed button. The speed adjustment will be saved for the song.

Main Music Player Window

There are different ways to start the editor for a song.

Using the Music Manager or the Song List Editor, select the song to edit, then select the Edit button.

In the player, when the song is playing or has just been played, select the Edit menu item, then select Edit Current for the currently playing song or Edit Previous for the previously played song.

Or also in the player, select the song in the music queue, select the
Edit menu item, and then the Edit Selected selection.

Song Editor

In the song editor, change the Speed Adjustment slider to set the speed increase or decrease for that song. Select the Save button to save the changes, then select the Exit button.

Note that VLC's speed adjustment is quite low quality. I recommend that you use the speed adjustment to find the right speed for the song, then use the Music Manager's or the Song Editor's Apply Adjustments menu selection to permanently apply the speed change to your audio file.
