[Music] Stop Playback after a Track

[Styrke]

I hate to stop the music in the middle of a track, so i would love some way to make Spotify stop playback after the current track.

Right now I can simulate the desired behaviour by right-clicking an empty playlist, (that i have created for this purpose only) and selecting "Choose as Current Playlist" and making sure that the play queue is empty. While this is a nice workaround, I think that it would make sense to include a real "Stop Playback After Current Track"-function in Spotify.

Update (2015-02-01):

The previously suggested workaround doesn't even work any more as Rapti has pointed out in a comment. At one point it could even make Spotify crash completely.

I would like to point out that a saner, more flexible queuing system could allow even finer control over when to stop playing. Thus people who like this idea might also like:

• Make entire play queue editable (I have added my own comment to that idea about how Google Play Music seems to work)

I agree and I've missed this feature on countless occasions ever since I moved from Winamp to Spotify.

I've also wanted this feature for a long time, and I made a little userscript to do this using the Spotify Play Button. I wrote a blog post about it in Norwegian a couple of minutes ago. Here it is, run through Google Translate.  A couple of the translations are a litle corny and weird, but I think you'll get the point, though. However, if you're fluent in Norwegian or JavaScript, these two links might help you clear things up a bit: Blog post in Norwegian, Spotify Break After at userscripts.org. Thank you for your time. 🙂

This would be so awesome! I hate that jarring moment when you have to stop the track mid-riff, need to be able to play awesome music as I'm getting ready to head out the door. Chariots of Fire, perhaps.

If you decide to implement this idea (and I really hope so!), please consider including a "stop after current album"-botton as well!

Missed this function since the day I got Spotify! A "shutdown after current song" would also be great!

Yes, I want this.

As mentioned in another suggestion (link), I think this would work well if implemented as a "stop here" or "pause here" item that could be added to play queues and moved around.

I also miss this functionality in spotify - winamp provides this with right-click menu of the "stop"-button and it is really a good and simple way to stop playing after leaving the room or doing something else not in front of spotify.

Thanks to Styrke for the workaround - a good idea for the same result!

This would be a really good feature, hope that it does get added.

Maybe Shift + Pause on the desktop and long pressing Pause on touch devices?

Also noticed that a few people created other threads asking for the same feature, seems to be quite a popular request.

I also want this feature a long time ago. It would be great to have in desktop and mobile!

Only ideas with 40+ kudos should have the good idea status.
