iTunes Timer Widget
Over the past few months I’ve really come to enjoy listening to audiobooks. During those long bike trips along the Han river, Tolstoy makes good company. And as every child knows, having a story read to you provides a gentle transition into sleep (and drowns out the nightly feral cat congregation outside your Seoul window).
While nodding off to a good book is excellent, waking up two hours into your night’s rest to turn off iTunes isn’t. I’ve found a great solution in a simple Dashboard widget. Aptly named ‘iTunes Timer,’ the widget is entirely straight forward in its purpose and requires little explanation. Set a time to pause iTunes and start the countdown. Moreover, because Audiobooks (saved in m4b format) retain their play position when you stop them, you won’t have to go scrubbing through your book for that elusive moment when you slipped into dreamland.
Download iTunes Timer from Apple.com.
