Fall Asleep mode

You can set up Aurora to stop the playback of iTunes, DVD Player or Quicktime Player after a certain amount of time so you can listen to music or videos while falling asleep.

Understand that Aurora is only the timer in that case, you'll need to start playback manually in either iTunes, DVD Player or Quicktime Player.

To enter Fall Asleep mode, select the Fall Asleep toolbar item. There are five different options to specify the amount of time before playback stops and your Mac goes to sleep.

Modes

Step 1

You can specify a fixed amount of time (in HH:MM:SS format), which will be counted from the time you start the timer.

Step 2

You can directly specify the time at which the countdown should end.

Step 3

You can specify how many tracks iTunes should play before the countdown stops. This prevents that the end of playback falls into the middle of a track. The number of tracks you set up doesn't include the currently playing track, so if you set up "1 track" it'll stop after the next track.

Step 4

You can specify that the countdown should end when the DVD has finished playing.

Step 5

You can specify that the countdown should end when the Quicktime movie has finished playing.

After you start the countdown, Aurora will always display how much time is left, either from the time entered of from looking at iTunes's, DVD Player's or Quicktime Player's playback progress.
