Make sleeptimer more accessible #585

I'm super happy with the Simple Music Player. Thank you!

I frequently use the Simple Music Player for listening to audiobooks and podcasts before sleep. However, I find that the sleep timer is not very easy to access. Here's an idea to make it more convenient:

Currently, there's an icon in the playback view for adjusting the playback speed. Clicking this icon opens a modal with a speed slider. I believe this modal could include one or two additional elements:

Playback speed
<     |     >
      1

Sleeptimer
[19 Minutes left]

When either of these options is adjusted, it would become the new default (meaning the icon between the current position and track length would display the new icon).

Would it make sense to change the icon between the current position and track length to indicate a sleeptimer being active? I believe it would: It indicates the playback will stop somewhere in the middle of the track.
