Example: 540 minutes of audio at 1.5× (90 min/hour listening rate) = 6 hours of actual listening time.

Confusing playback speed with “minutes per hour” is common. At faster speeds, your listening rate (minutes of content per hour) increases proportionally.

Reading and listening speeds vary by person and material. Use estimates for planning, not strict scheduling guarantees.
