[All Platforms][Other] More options for Sleep Timer control

Spotify has the option of putting on a sleep timer while listening to podcasts. I love this feature and use it often. The time increments go from five minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes to an hour. It would be nice to also have a customizable timer, much like audible does for their audiobooks. The 15 minute increments are a little long and it would be nice to sometimes put on a timer for 25 minutes or 30 minutes, etc. You could also put the option 'until the end of the playlist' or 'until the end of the queue'.

Needs 73 more 👍🏽 to get in to development but if they added all the dozens and dozens of requests together they would have had thousands but they keep closing because of lack of people voting.

Just do it Spotify. Give people what they want.

Great suggestions from NazKhan and everyone else! I’d like to add one feature suggestion: set the sleep timer to the end of the current album

To be able to set sleep timer to be at the end of a certain track you have scheduled, as a second option to the time increments currently offered

Currently for the sleep timer feature there is only a few time options, with 1 hour being the longest. There's also end of track as an option. End of album or playlist should be an option. Or at least longer time options.

This is such an easy change and so important to the user experience. I am surprised this was posted 2 years ago without resolution? I would imagine Spotify can take action on good ideas even if it doesn’t have thousands of votes? Not everyone knows about the ideas to be voted on. Doesn’t mean everyone is not wishing for this! Some users may just leave Spotify and not vote or say a thing if some basic features are not there that they need.

All my other audio apps have an option to set a custom sleep timer, where you can choose the amount of minutes yourself. Please add this feature so I can set the number of minutes I would like. Especially if I want to listen to audiobooks it's essential, but same for long format podcasts. 

 

This has been my main annoyance with Spotify for a long time, so please, please fix it!

It’s bothered me that this isn’t a feature yet but having an option for the music to stop playing once the queue finishes is a missed opportunity. It’s either end of a song or it’s gonna stop in like 5 min in the middle of a song.

Well, here's to another year of merged / closed threads for a Desktop Sleep Timer. Not holding my breath though.

Add more options at sleep timer.Like twenty minutes or let we can set the time exactly with minute.

Add an option on the sleep timer feature that allows listeners to finish their queue of songs as their timer, rather than set times. or somthing similar such as "till end of playlist". Or even just an option to customize the time would be a good addition
