[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'.

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

You can turn off autoplay in the settings, open those through your profile picture on the homepage.

Playback > Autoplay

Disable Autoplay

 

Now it should stop after the queue has played.

So, please, Spotify, I want the timer to be based not on the clock but on the number of songs the listener wants, with a custom option.

 

The reason is that when I want to sleep, I often struggle to decide how much time I need. With this feature, listeners can have a more comfortable and convenient way to choose their listening duration.

 

Actually, listeners can manually add songs to the queue, and the music will stop once all the songs are finished. However, the feature I'm suggesting would be more automatic and convenient.

 

For example, if there were an option for a "Sleep Timer by Songs," users could simply select the number of songs, and Spotify would stop playing automatically without having to manually add them to the queue. This would be much more practical than setting up a queue manually every time before sleeping.

 

This would enhance the user experience, especially for those who use Spotify to relax before sleep. It would be a simple yet impactful improvement for many listeners, making the app even more user-friendly.

 

I hope you consider this feature. Thank you!
