[Beta] Sleep Timer

[LedZepp]

Do you like to listen to music before going to sleep, but often find your battery drained when you wake up? Then this is perfect for you.
Choose the number of hours, minutes, and seconds you would like to listen to your music, then choose either your whole collection randomized, A certain Artist, A certain Album, or a Certain playlist. And your off, the time left will be displayed on the screen.

How to use:
The first screen you will see is the amount of time you would like to set.
Choose hours first(you may leave any of these at zero), then click the center button to move to the next amount. After you enter in the seconds, you will be taken to the music selection screen. Use left and right to navigate between Random, Artists, Playlists, and Albums. Press up/down to move to the previous/next choice, hold the button down to move faster(it goes pretty fast). Press the center button when you found what you want to listen to and you will be taken to the last screen. It displays the time left. Press up/down to adjust volume and press left/right to move between songs.
At anytime you may press the back button to move back a screen(or for the time set it will move back to the previous time set).
Note: If you press back when on the last screen(time left screen) you will be taken back to music selection and your timer will be reset to what you had chosen, it will not continue.
When the time left is 0, it will exit the game and restart your zune. If you want it to shut down instead of restarting, when the timer starts just switch the hold button to on and it will stop it from starting back up when it shuts down.

Simple, yet useful.

Awesome! Except, all it really does is restarts the zune, instead of shutting it down. Either way it's useful.

Awesome idea bro! + rep, too bad you cant program it to shut down but still awesome, im probably gonna use this alot!

[LedZepp]

To shut it down, when the timer starts turn the hold button on.
I think that stops it from starting back up

Edit:
Confirmed, this stops it from starting back up

Alright sweet!

Change...

String timeLeft = ts.ToString();

to

String timeLeft = ts.Hours.ToString() + " hrs " + ts.Minutes.ToString() + " mins " + ts.Seconds.ToString() + " secs";

This will cause less seziures

Updates include...
New User Controls (up, down, right, left, back)
Volume Display
New Timer display

These are just a couple updates that I did. Needs a bit of polish to become really nice. Maybe adding in Zune Blade.

Ohhh thanks for this! The sleep timer will be pretty helpful.. I hate waking up and seeing my battery drain =D

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE AN ALARM CLOCK!!!!
It can even be the opposite of this!
Just set hours minutes seconds until the music starts!
(It'll be on my dock so I won't be worrying about battery.)

I don't think that's possible...

[ShotgunSnipist]

How is it not?
If people can program this then it seems pretty easy to make the count down START audio playback instead of hold the back button.

Your not supposed to be looking at the timer when your sleeping so it really doesnt matter.

It does but if you want i can program the middle button to hide the timer and therefore making the whole screen black.

Well it would be pretty simple to make it into an alarm clock but umm who doesn't already have an alarm clock? lol Anyway what it couldn't do obviously is turn the zune on. But i'm sure it could work as long as you have it plugged in to your wall because your zune would probobly be dead by morning. But hey i'd use it for taking naps ;]

[ravenator]

Thank you! Such a simple feature, so useful, so... needed!

Of course everyone has an alarm clock. But would you rather wake up to annoying ear breaking bells or Hells Bells by ACDC?

Hmm, tough question. :p - hehe, nah acca dacca are alright


Btw: Something to turn the screen off would be really useful!

[brute games]

cool but i wish the backlight would be able to turn off and a better music selection. oh and does anyone else have problems with their hold button not working? mine is really hard to set you need to like push it down really hard and then right and now it wont ever work anymore.(i have a 80gb)
