Playback Settings

You can customize how Superphonic plays podcasts in many ways.

Playback Speed

Change the speed at which podcasts are played anywhere from 0.5 - 5x. Superphonic is the only player to support 5x playback speeds, for true podcast fans wanting to get the most of their time. Speeds beyond 2x are supported for Premium members only. (Default: 1.0)

Auto-Play From Later

Play episodes from the Later list when Playlist is empty. (Default: On)

Skip Forward/Backward

Set the amount of time each skip forward or backward jumps in the audio. (Default: 30 seconds each)

Smart Skip

[Available for Premium and Trial members] Detect and automatically jump over chapters that our AI chapterizer has identified as ads. Smart Skip will only activate when AI generated transcripts are available. (Default: Off)

Whenever Superphonic automatically skips a segment, you’ll hear a magic sparkling sound as an indicator that Smart Skip had activated.

Outros

Detect and automatically end an episode once our AI chapterizer has identified the start of an outro (credits, plugs, “thanks for listening,” and similar wrap-up). Outros only activate when AI generated chapters are available. (Default: Off)

This is different from Skip Beginning / End on a podcast: that setting trims a fixed number of seconds from every episode of that show. Outros uses AI to find where the episode wrap-up actually begins.

Superphonic Button Swipe

When you swipe on the Superphonic Button (US Patent 12,160,641), you can skip audio forward (by swiping right) or backward (by swiping left). You can control how swiping on the Superphonic Button behaves:

• Variable. The longer you swipe, the more audio is skipped. Short swipes skip 15 seconds, medium swipes skip 30, and the longest swipes skip 60. This is the default.
• 15s. All swipes, no matter how short or long, skip 15 seconds.
• 30s .. 60s. The same principle, but for 30 and 60 seconds.
