I don't think there's one built in to the music player that comes with it but
you're probably right there is one out there that does have a speed control.
This thing I don't like about the downloads is this. They're in zip files. You
can't unzip a file on the iPhone and although we do have a computer wouldn't it
be nice to go look at them and not have to think oh I need a computer to do
this because I can't unzip this file. Even better would be to download them
without needing to unzip so that you could do it on another device besides a
computer.
