Playback Settings

Set your default playback speed and skip forward/back intervals.

Playback settings let you configure how the player starts each book. You can set a default speed (applied when you open the player) and choose how far forward or backward you skip when you use the skip buttons.

Setting default playback speed

The default speed applies every time you open the player to start listening to a book. You can always change the speed mid-listen without affecting this default.

  1. Open Settings

    From the main tab bar, tap Settings.

  2. Find Playback settings

    Scroll down to the Playback section.

  3. Tap Default Speed

    Select a speed from 0.5x (half speed) up to 3.0x, in preset steps: 0.5x, 0.75x, 1.0x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2.0x, 2.5x, or 3.0x.

Configuring skip intervals

The skip buttons in the player let you jump forward or backward by a fixed amount. This setting controls how many seconds you skip.

  1. In Settings, find Playback

    Below Default Speed is the skip interval section.

  2. Select skip backward and skip forward intervals

    Choose your preferred interval: 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, or 90 seconds.
