[Desktop][Other] Sleep timer for desktop

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.

Haha is right. 4 years, Parmesan? More like 14.

yes, It is really inconvenient that the desktop app does not have sleep timer. In 2024 Spotify should implement it asap!

Where is the sleep timer?!  So this is just going to stay a "Live Idea" until when?  Until y'all go out of business?  And Spotify wonders why the community hates this app because they don't care about anything actually useful.

It's 2024 now - why, oh why has this still not been implemented?

What's the big deal, it's a simple tool. just add the sleep timer in today's time.

This is a must have feature for everyone!

You really must bring better features to the Desktop version, it seems to lag behind in terms of features in comparison to the app.

I want to use this for Pomodoros.

This is the number one missing feature if you ask me 😊 Because of this I'm still using JetAudio for my going to bed musical needs. 😂

 

I used to suggest crazier features in the past like "leaving my music archive to somebody when the time comes" (!), but I have learned my lesson. I'm more practical these days. 

 

Anyway, perhaps this will help you, when you are going over feature requests = "I have a great hi-fi system and thousands... and thousands of CDs. However, because of the practicality of not going over the CD decks again and again... and the convivence of switching to my computer's audio at will which occurs rather often... I have become a fan. Yes, the quality of the music is lower. Yes, you still don't have some of my CDs. Yes, you will never have some of my CDs. And yes, I can live with that." 😁

Can we get the sleep timer on the desktop app? It is already in the mobile apps so I don't see why we can't have it on desktop too. Sometimes I want music on in the background while I'm doing work but don't want it running for hours if I forget to turn it off before leaving the room.
