Describe the feature/enhancement

AFAICT, right now there is only one global listening speed. But it would be most useful if you could add speed per book, as various materials fit different listening speeds - i.e. books for absorbing information = fast speed, books for pleasure = slower speeds.
The player should remember what is a global speed, but if the speed is changed in a particular book, it should be remembered for that book. When switching to a new book, it should go back to global, until you switch back to one of the already-listened books, at which point it will go back to the speed last used for that particular book.

This feature is present in the best Podcast players, for example Podcast Addict (where it applies to feeds), and I find it immensely useful.
