Sleep timer

Breitling451 — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 21:21:09 GMT

It would be most useful to have a sleep timer. I am not certain if the country of usage is critical, but my account is via your Canadian app. Various podcast apps have this feature in increments of 10min, 15min, 30min, 45min, 1 hour, etc., in a simple drop down menu.

Thank you.

Hey @Breitling451,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community and welcome. We moved your post from the Ideas section to one of our Help boards as it fits better here.

The option you're mentioning is already a feature added to the Spotify app. If you're using the mobile app, you can set a Sleep Timer of 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 minutes, 1 hour, or at the end of the song/episode you're currently listening to. You can activate it in regular songs from the context menu (3-dot menu) of the Now Playing View by selecting the option Sleep timer or in podcasts by tapping the "clock" button located next to the button on the Now Playing View as well.

Currently there is no sleep timer option for desktop, but if that's something you'd like to see, consider voting for this idea to show your support.

Hope this helps. If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Play music for X minutes as I’m going to sleep

play music for a specific (changeable) amount of time so I can fall asleep and not wake up in 1 hour with music still playing.

Are you sure Spotify hasn't removed the sleep timer in an update? Because it appears to have vanished and all your instructions above on where to find it no longer work.

Ecouter une seule histoire/musique sans enchaîner

Dubed — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 11:02:37 GMT

Il serait chouette de pouvoir écouter une seule histoire /musique en utilisant la flèche rectangulaire par exemple, et qu ensuite cela se stoppe tout seul...

En effet si je veux mettre une histoire a mon enfant avant de dormir, je dois être attentive et l'éteindre moi sinon cela enchaîne sur une autre piste...

Merci d'avance

Its there, just not under the 'three dots'. From the playing screen, it's too the right of the fast forward button.

Auto-off

Many of us want to listen to music before going to bed. There are two ways out of the situation: 1. Wake up and turn off the app

2. Playing music until the morning and we finish with the device discharged.

My idea is to introduce a timer function like a timer where the application will automatically close at the end of the set time

Can you extend the sleep time to include hours so the user can choose more than one hour to listen to music.

Timer to plan listening to your favorite music

Hello! I wanted to suggest that you set up a music timer as part of your business, meaning that you can stop the playlist at a certain time chosen by the user. This would be perfect for people who fall asleep to music or plan their time. I hope it's useful!

This feature does not work on the desktop app. It would be helpful if it switched off after a set time, most people don't fall asleep next to their laptops.

I agree with this, i think it would be good if you could set the timer yourself.

With Sleep timer, we want to be able to stop audio at the end of a playlist. In other words, being able to set Sleep timer so that audio stops at the end of the last track of a given playlist. Right now, it’s only possible to stop audio with Sleep timer in minutes, hours, and at the end of a track.
