In Greek mythology Hypnos was the personification of sleep.
Hypnos on your Computer can help you to fall asleep. It is a sleep timer for iTunes (was called iTunesShut or Berceuse before) which allows you to Shut Down, Restart, Sleep, Pause or Quit iTunes or start an AppleScript after listening to a predetermined number of tracks (counter), length of time (timer), or entire playlist in iTunes. You can optionally have the volume fade out over this period, if desired.
All this comes in handy, when you want to listen to your iTunes music when you go to bed and don't want to care about shutting down the Computer.
Other features:
• Can also add an auto-cue and auto-pause functionality to iTunes.
• Control Hypnos with the Apple Remote.
• You can tell Hypnos to wait 5 Min. before it takes its action. During this time you can start listening to music again, for example with your iPhone or Apple Remote.
