[Desktop][Other] Sleep timer for desktop

Submitted by on ‎2020-01-23 05:25 AM
Status: implemented

I noticed recently I can’t use the sleep timer feature on the desktop version of Spotify.

This is pretty inconvenient seeing as 99% of the time I’m not using my phone for Spotify if i'm planning to listen to music while going to sleep. Obviously i don’t know the ins and outs of adding such a feature but surely something so small can’t be hard to implement?

I’m assuming the feature is in the process of being added as I see no point in giving it to mobile users with no intentions of adding it to the desktop version which seems far more practical in my mind.

Hey folks,

 

Thanks for coming to the Spotify Idea Exchange and voting to make this happen.

 

We're happy to announce that the Sleep Timer function is now available in the Spotify desktop app. You can find it in the 3-dot menu of any track in any playlist/album/artist page or in the playback controls panel (podcasts and audiobooks only) as shown on the screenshots below:

The feature is still in its rollout phase so if you don't see it currently, rest assured it's coming your way, just make sure to keep your app up to date.

 

Once again, thanks for helping us make Spotify better, by participating here on the Community!

Can you revert the status of this idea from implemented? My post originally was about a sleep timer for music and still is. The implemented change is for audiobooks and podcasts only.

Hello, 

thanks for the update. Sounds like the news we've been waiting for a long time

From which version should it be available??

I was just able to use a sleep timer for music on the Windows app! Just right-click on a song in the queue and it show up
