Option to make sleep timer end on current track without needing 1 min timer

Feature description:

I’ve been enjoying the new Now Playing screen and in particular the sleep timer (moon icon) button being easily accessible. I use the sleep timer frequently, but only for one purpose - to stop playback after the current song. I just I don’t like ending my listening session abruptly.

It would be nice if there was an optional setting to make it skip the ‘set timer’ window and make it ‘finish last track and stop’ with one tap on the sleep timer icon. Or the option of a held button push to trigger this behavior.

Another nice improvement would be to change the sleep timer’s ‘Moon’ icon to be solid/filled in when active - similar to the Favourite heart icon. I’d prefer not to have the countdown timer numbers on the Now Playing screen, I’d just like a minimal way to see a sleep timer is active.

Problem solved:

I just want to use the sleep timer to end playback on the current track more simply. Currently I set a sleep timer for 1 minute and click ‘Finish last track’. This works pretty good, but it’s an extra step and an inconvenience to keep checking if there’s more than 1 min. left to prevent it from skipping to the next track when I don’t want to start another one.

Brought benefits:

A minor thing, but it would be a nice improvement for people who like to end their listening session gracefully.

I’ll have the icon be filled when there’s a sleep timer.

But sorry won’t change or add long press, 2 clicks is as fast as a long press and it’s not worth it.
