Playback Controls

Player Bar Essentials

The player bar provides quick access to:

• Play/pause
• Skip forward/back
• Current progress and duration
• Queue access

Queue Behavior

Use the Playlist area to:

• Reorder upcoming episodes.
• Remove queued items.
• Start playback from any queued episode.

Per-Podcast Preferences

Phonograph can remember settings by podcast, including:

• Preferred playback speed.
• Intro/outro skip timing when available.

These preferences are applied automatically when returning to the same show.

Media Session Integration

On compatible platforms, Phonograph integrates with system media controls so you can:

• Play or pause from lock screen/headset controls.
• Resume without returning to the browser tab.

Practical Tips

• Keep one episode active to avoid accidental queue resets.
• Check network status when long episodes stall.
• Use playlist order to stage multi-episode sessions.
