Let's put ourselves in a situation: you go to sleep but you need your favorite music group to fall asleep. However, you don't want the music to disturb the neighbors or kill your mobile battery. Do you wake up and turn it off? Wouldn't it be better to let yourself flow through the spells of the sound waves until snuggling up in the arms of Morpheus in a transition without startles or half sleep? Well, there is already a way to do it.Of course, as long as you have a Android mobile phone and the latest version of the application Google Play Music
And the fact is that the Google application has just received an updatewith a curious but well-known function: a switch off programmer Something that has been present for many years in devices such as minichains and portable players, but that seems to have been forgotten in these modern times of smart mobiles Do you want to know how to use it? Well, keep reading.
- The first thing is to use Google Play Music to play your music.
- The second thing is to make sure that you have the latest version of the application The update can be downloaded from Google Play Store in the usual way, thus finding the function this article is about: the timer
- The third thing is remember to set the timer And, unfortunately for many, it does not have useful settings such as automatic shutdown after certain hours of playback or after not handling the player for a certain time. Thus, we must be aware in advance that we will end up asleep or clueless and that we have to activate this timer when we play the music.
- To do this, simply display the lateral menu of the application and access the menu Settings Here is, a little further down, the option Timer It's really basic and is set like any clock or alarm Android Just choose the time after which the music will automatically pause. In other words, a full-fledged countdown.
This function has a clock that marks up to 23 hours Thus, the maximum that we can program will be one day. Something more than enough for any nap or deep sleep. You just have to slide your finger to the desired number of hours first, or zero if you want to schedule with only a few minutes of viewing. Then the minutes are set and the button is pressed Start
With this it is possible to continue listening to music from Google Play Music as usual, taking advantage of the repertoire of the service in streaming from Google, or playing any track stored in the terminal's memory instead. When the timer counts down to zero the music pauses.
The only problem is that Google Play Music doesn't notify you in any way, not even afterwards.A simple notification or a progressive fade so as not to startle the user during sleep would be ideal. In short, a feature that seemed lost in time and is now back thanks to Google
