I just want a simple music player with Sleep Timer like Spotify. Thanks

Maybe a better alternative is to coordinate with sleep timers for your suspend, or use commands to do so: https://askubuntu.com/questions/651414/how-to-get-ubuntu-gnome-to-suspend-after-5-minutes

alarm-clock-applet allows custom commands. So put systemctl suspend into a timer, bingo.

rtcwake to wake the computer up, for-better-or-worse the music will still be playing.

Someone else mentioned android, VLC there does have a sleep timer (just to stop the music) I didn't see an equivalent option in the desktop version (at a quick glance) though.

In SMPlayer I do see the option 'shut down computer' as a sub-option for `close when finished playback' (general options)

I believe someone wrote a sleep timer script for deadbeef

Just wanna stop and appreciate what that text actually says without context...

What a time to be alive. Hackers writing scripts for bovine carcases, what's next?

For Android, Anrimians Music player

For Linux there only are a few so check them

  • gapless (new, gnome)
  • juk (older, minimal, KDE)
  • elisa (current, KDE)
  • amarok (old, updated, KDE)
  • rhythmbox (old, gnome)
  • strawberry, clementine (old, Qt)

Dang, that looks pretty sleek. Very common design but it still looks good IMO.

My favourite too. Has m3u support so in theory can sync with android through something like syncthing. There you can use something like Anrimians Music player that also syncs from and to m3u files

It doesnt fully work currently though, not sure why.

Plexamp includes a sleep timer. It’s under the … menu during playback.
