Enabling Podcast Controls

Craig Wiseman

I sync podcasts from iTunes doubleTwist Pro, (because it's easy to create my podcast playlist there).
When played, some show the podcast controls, and some do not.
(forward 30 secs/back 10, x speed controls, etc)
I understand auto-detecting is hard, so I'm not complaining about that.
What I would like to know or be able to do is turn on the controls, as in the Issues, etc. example below. It's detected as a normal music file, and I can't seem to see how to turn on/enable the normal podcast controls (as in the NPR example).
Any tips on how to do this? thx!!!

  Is there a way to have podcasts controls for things being read as music files? I'm listening to long audiofiles where I would specifically like to increase playback speed. They're added to music section. They are .m4a files if that information is helpful.

  Hello Jesse,

  Edit the metadata genre to be one of the following and the Podcast controls will be used so you can change playback speed.
