Legantoo offers the user the possibility to adapt the program functions to his personal needs. Here you will learn how to proceed and what settings are available to you.

To edit the settings, swipe to the „More Options“ button and double-tap it. Now look for the „Preferences“ button and double tap on it. In the window that opens, navigate to the left and right by swiping. You can select or deselect checkboxes by double tapping.

The following sections describe the individual program settings in more detail. They are grouped according to the settings in which they are to be found.

Heading „Media device“

Opening a book starts the audio playback
If this option is activated, books are automatically played back after being selected in the library, provided that audio content is available. When this option is deactivated, playback must be controlled via the Audio menu.
Play content automatically after chapter change
If this option is activated, the selected chapters will automatically be played when you scroll through the chapters view if audio content is available. If this option is disabled, playback must be controlled via the Audio menu.
Retain volume when book exchange
If this option is activated and the volume is then changed in the Audio menu, this changed volume will be retained even if another book is opened from the library and it will automatically be set again the next time the program is started. Disabling this option uses the volume specified in the book instead. Please keep in mind that this setting also affects synchronized devices.
Retain speed when book exchange
If this option is activated and the speed is then set in the Audio menu, this changed speed will be maintained even if another book is opened from the library and it will automatically be reset at the next program start. Disabling this option uses the speed specified in the book instead. Please note that this setting also affects synchronized devices.
