    That’s an easy fix. Most music streaming services will time out after 30 minutes with an “are you still listening?” prompt.

      This is a terrible idea. I use spotify for music at work and if I had to click a prompt every 30 minutes I might as well be watching YouTube videos.

        Honestly I just download the stuff I like to listen to from YouTube using vlc and use the android version of that to just play the group of audio files all on a shuffled loop. Then again, my work asks that phones be in airplane mode in the room I work at (tho is fine with music and Bluetooth headphones, it’s something about interference from the data connection they’re worried about) so I couldn’t use a streaming service for it anyway.

      This has to be an intentionally bad idea lol, most albums are longer than 30 minutes and this would ruin the flow

      If I have to interact with my phone at any point while I’m driving I’m leaving that service.

      A “sleep timer” feature would be a much better suggestion. Audio streaming is not so network-intensive that we need to build in timeouts
