Didn't know just how much I love the basic Samsung Music app. Not only does it allow to set whether it adds a song to a playlist at the beginning or the end... which makes making playlists a lot easier...
... but also just found that it had a feature I was about to look for but didn't expect to find in a music app, the ability to change the playback speed. Audio book apps have that ability and it makes sense for them, but I didn't expect to find it in a music app.
I wanted that feature so that I could slow down the German music I listen to, to give me a better opportunity to hear the words while I'm learning German. In the past I've done essentially the same idea by getting in addition the acoustic versions of faster songs, because they're usually played much slower. But now I can do that for every song I listen to, by just changing the overall playback speed in my music app. How well it will work for learning remains to be seen, but really looking forward to trying it out
