Sleep Timer

In the Spotify Android App there's a sleep-timer feature where music will stop playing after a set amount of time (5min, 10min, 15min, 30min, ect.)

I love this feature as a way to setting a timer for focused work, or to listen to music while falling asleep. I'd love to see this feature!

+1 to this. How do feature requests get prioritized?

@eb3f73 I guess we must request this feature on github.

I made an account just because I wanted this feature. :')

And I don't think it's hard to create. I mean, if the developer really doesn't have any time, they can make sure that they use a preliminary command like "sleep 60m && pkill strawberry" at first then develop this later. (I have been doing this anyway on my systemd Linux Laptop) Not sure how it would work for other operating systems tho

@Robbing7423 For a year or so now I used my main desktop for my alarm...

So maybe I want to play music, or watch some TV and have the computer sleep at 9.30pm and then wake up in the morning to play me a tune for waking up.

I use KAlarm, but you can schedule any way...

window_list=$(wmctrl -l | awk '{print $1}')
for window in $window_list; do
    wmctrl -ic "$window"
done; amixer set Master 10%; systemctl suspend

I set the volume because last month, I left my mouse on and the computer woke up at 3am and I got a few noisy notifications.

Basically, whatever window is open/playing will get closed so that in the morning, it wakes up with a tune which also helps me remember what day it is.

Yes! I love the built-in sleep timer feature on Spotify. This post introduces alternative ways to set the sleep timer for Spotify across multiple devices.
