I know this doesn't really answer your question, but in case this isn't possible for some reason, there is a Chrome/Chromium extension called Spotify Playback Speed Access that allows you to change the speed of songs on the Spotify Web Player. Spotify has made it possible for users to change the Spotify podcast playback speed, but the option is not available when listening to music. Some request that Spotify should implement it for audiobooks as well, and some want more granular speed options like 1.2x, 2.5x.
Spotify has a range of audio quality options to suit your device, plan, and preferences.
