[All Platforms] Sleep Timer

[SurejNZ]

I am a new user to Spotify from NZ and the first thing I miss having moved from iphone's built in music player is the sleep timer. I understand this feature stopped working in one of the recent versions of spotify App. If it is a compatibility issue partly related to iOS 5, may I suggest that you build a sleep timer into the App itself? 

Also, as suggest by one other Spotify user, Nyx, it would be even better if you could include an alarm featuer so we can all wake up to our favourite playlists within Spotify.

Thanks again for all the great work you guys are doing and we really hope you would consider this new idea.

Cheers

Update: The issue with sleep timer seems to be working in iOS 8.

6 years since this was first suggested-WOW! I have been waiting for Spotify to implement a sleep timer since I switched from Pandora circa 2013. I was really disappointed Spotify didn't already have such a useful feature and contemplated the switch from Pandora for this simple reason. I decided to make the move to Spotify since I have the ability to choose the exact song I want to hear with Premium. Please make us all happy with a sleep timer! An alarm feature goes hand in hand as well and would be a really cool addition. C'mon, we have a Stranger Things Mode, but not a sleep mode (insert question mark here, seeing as it won't let me post with one-talk about strange). Hmm...

This would be the best feature. It has more than 3 thousand votes, I understand it might be very complicated, but commom, I have another music players (e.g. Poweramp), from smaller companies, and they all have a sleep timer. Spotify should consider the ideas of their users.

How's that going then?  It seems there are a couple of approaches you could take - either a timer - which does not sound too difficult to implement or the ability to create a temporary 'sleep playlist' of a given length from either a radio or your own playlists: this would function like a sleep timer in that it would play for a certain time then stop.

The playlist idea is also good as you could then edit the selection - removing anything too tempostuous (sic) if you think it may be counterproductive.

I know phones have various apps and functions you can use as sleep timers but it would be nice to see a native function in Spotify, especially for those of us using computers...

Also I'm posting this here despite it saying [mobile] as you are directed here from the other thread I found about sleep timers.

Yes!!! Would be lovely to have a sleep timer that's like what Audible has. I miss that functionality.

I now have a google mini and use that insted of my phone so I now have sleep function. So the app is now deligated to mobile use.

Really wish this was a thing. But since not i use pandora, since they have had this feature for a long time now.

All those who have an iPhone already have the timer function integrated in the time app for Spotify or any other. Also if you want to wake up with music you can use it but it works from the app Music app.

Or... you could just add something that even the most basic music player apps have.  If my desktop radio from the 80's has a sleep function. I'm sure Spotify 2018 could easily add this feature.

3304 Votes for this great idea and still no traction on this one? Curious indeed.
