Question about a Sleep Timer

Scrapz616 · 05-05-2008, 10:55 AM

Sorry, I know there's like tons of these threads, but I was just wondering, why can't the zune have a sleep timer? I mean does it really need a clock to do it?
My Zen nano had a sleep timer but it had no clock,
I'm guessing it would be like the black light, just counting to a certain time, then it would turn itself off.
Or am I wrong?

sounds pretty reasonable..

Great idea, but doesn't the Zune go into sleep mode after not performing a task for a certain amount of time?

The only time I'd really use this would be when I shuffle all songs and go to sleep, but I'd still like it none-the-less.

Right. This has happened to me a few times and so far the only solution has been to run a playlist without repeat and wait till it runs it's course and goes to sleep. Very inconvienient.

Someone has created a sleep timer for zune on zuneboards.com
Just search it or just use this zip file for it:

in order to put it on zune, you need microsoft C# program, and xna gaming studio! Good Luck!

I think that there should be a way to keep the timer on and have the zune off at the same time. I'd prefer to save power.

I know someone has already created one, I'm wasn't really asking for one at the time, I was curious at why Zune couldn't offer a Sleep Timer on the zune before 2.5 came out with games.
Plus, I'd rather have one on the Zune, instead of going to Games to get it, same thing with the clocks.
