Feature description:
In spotify, when you’re listening to a podcast, double tapping your earbud will skip ahead 15 seconds, and triple tapping will skip backwards 15 seconds. Conversely, when listening to music, double tap will skip forwards to the next song, while triple tap will skip backwards to the last song.
I wish a similar functionality could be added to Symfonium. Symfonium could either recognize what content type is being played (music, podcast, audio drama, audio book, etc.) and adjust the settings accordingly. There could otherwise be a settings slider that decides what the buttons do based on how long the currently playing content is. If I set the slider to 5 minutes, any content longer than 5 minutes will cause the double and triple tap to go forward and backward 15 seconds (for example), while anything shorter than 5 minutes will cause the double and triple tap to go forward and backward to the next piece of content.
Problem solved:
I often listen to podcasts and want to double click to skip forward (past an ad or mono log for example) but find it just skips to the next podcast. It would be much improved if this functionality was dynamically configurable.
Brought benefits:
Users won’t have to look at their device in order to skip a section of a podcast or audio drama. It is much more likely that a user will want to skip forward in a podcast than switch to the next podcast, whereas the opposite is true for music.
Other application solutions:
n/a
Additional description and context:
A setting in Settings → Playback → Playback which allows you to adjust how long the content has to be in order for this action to happen (with precision in number of minutes at least)
