[All Platforms] Sleep Timer

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.

@Mattosaurus Thank you so much!! Just installed the app and it seems to work well with Spotify. Will try it out again tonight. Thanks! 👍

Please add this! I like to play Spotify through my PC, hooked up to my stereo, while I go to sleep. But I do NOT want it to play all night or more than a certain amount of time when I might actually hear the music. For example, it messes up my last.fm page; as far as I'm concerned.

 

I am a long-time early adapter of paid accounts, and hope that this idea soon gets some real traction at Spotify!

This seems like such an easy thing to implement and so many would use it. Why hasn't it been done yet?
