The new Persistent Player allows you to continue listening to your favourite show or live stream while browsing the 麻豆社 Sounds area of the 麻豆社 website.
Where can I see what's playing?
When you start listening to a programme or live stream, it will appear at the bottom of the screen in a playback bar.
While you browse the 麻豆社 Sounds website, whether that鈥檚 looking at the episode information, schedules or exploring the homepage, your current programme or live stream will show in this bar at the bottom of the page.
How do I control playback?
The minimised player offers full playback and navigation tools, allowing you to control the content as you browse the site.
If the full controls aren't showing, it's likely that you're using the website on a mobile or tablet, or that you're using a computer with the screen zoomed/magnified. The following page will help: Why can't I see the play controls on the website?
You can play and pause, adjust the volume, navigate through the programme or live stream, and adjust the speed of playback using the on-screen buttons.
The play queue icon will show what is coming up next, either in the schedule when listening live, or subsequent episodes when you're listening on demand.
When available, clicking the speech bubble icon will display a transcript of the show on the right. This will also remain on screen while you browse the site.

What if I visit other areas of the site?
At the moment, the player is available when using the 麻豆社 Sounds website. If you head to another area of the site, for example 麻豆社 iPlayer or 麻豆社 News, the playback will stop. However, when you return to 麻豆社 Sounds, the playback bar will be available again, allowing you to continue from where you left off.
Can I easily get back to the episode or programme page?
Yes! Simply click on the programme or station name on the player to open up the episode information.
