Sleep'n'Wake is the ideal app for dozing off to your favorite music playing silently and getting waked up again with the music you chose, this time with the volume maxed to the system volume setting on your Playstation Portable.

The current version 1.99b adds compatibility to Custom Firmware 3.xx and 4.xx by utilizing Mr305's OpenAlarmLib as well as fixes a bug in snooze mode for AM/PM time users.

Sleep'n'Wake was participated in the PSPSource Summer Coding Competition 2007 and the PSP-Hacks Homebrew Contest 2007 (2nd place).

Features

• Full support of cbr/vbr/abr 8kbps-320kbps 44.1kHz MP3 of arbitrary length.
• Manage different playlists for Sleep and Wake modes.
  • Add/remove MP3s.
  • Save/load/randomize playlists.
• In Sleep mode, set a special, quieter volume.
• Set up times for Wake, Snooze, and Fade-In.
• Wake mode is entered at a preset time with volume maxed (adjustable with VOL + and - keys); the Wake Playlist loops infinitely.
• Snooze for a preset amount of time in Wake Mode by pressing a Shoulder button.
• Smoothly fade the Wake-Up Tracks in.
• Save battery life: PSP enters Suspend Mode after the last track in the Sleep List has played, resuming one minute before the Wake Time.
  • This feature is made possible by Adrahil in past releases and Mr305 in this release (SnW uses OpenAlarmLib by Mr305).
  • Note: Activate this feature in the Customize Menu; it's deactivated by default, otherwise, the PSP will be underclocked to 50MHz.
• Large Digits Time Display (set 24h or 12h am/pm by pressing the right shoulder button in one of the Setup Times Editors).
• Customize Font Colors or use your theme as background.png in the app's directory.
• Multilanguage Support (EN_DE_FR_IT_NL_FI_PT_PT-BR).
• PowerLock feature, if enabled, prevents manually switching the PSP to Suspend by quickly nudging the Power Switch upwards.

User guide

• Choose your preferred language in the Customize > Change Language Menu.
• Set up the Wake Time, Snooze Time, and Fade-In Time in the Setup Times Menu.
  • Here you can also switch from 24h to AM/PM display by pressing the right shoulder button.
• Fill the Sleep List and Wake List with your MP3s, and save them if you want.
• (Optional) Connect your PSP to your hi-fi system.
• Enter Sleep Mode.
• Adjust the SYSTEM Volume to a loud enough level for Wake Mode.
• Adjust the SLEEP MODE special volume to a silent enough level for you with the Left/Right D-Buttons.
• (Now optional) Plug in the Power Cable.
• (Optional) Hold the Screen Button for a while to turn off the screen.
  • A. (Optional) Move the Power Switch to the Lock position (move it down).
  • B. Go to rest.
  • C. Get woken up on time.

When you start Sleep'n'Wake another time, all your customizations, time settings, and playlists will be loaded.

Note: Adding something to either the Sleep or Wake List is in a loop so you can easily add more files to your lists. Break the loop with the Circle Button.
