Get me crackin' on this. I'm going to run through another "old alarm" tonight and then tomorrow I'll work on the "new alarm" with dialogue! I setup ramping wake up times throughout the week- I'm really excited about this! Before this alarm I had KPFA (a liberal San Francisco news station) emitting loud static in my hear for an hour. Big step up. Blogging about this now. I guess you'll see the trackback :0 Ah, we can dream! Get me crackin’ on this.

I think this alarm would be ideal if I added a feature which jumped automatically to the beginning of the news and passed the advertisement at the beginning and the small one at the end.

Yours worked fine, though, when I copied and pasted that in. Some little things - the smart list for NPR feed, you should add that to your list here in the post - A bit confused about iCal's settings for the alarm file vs. the event file - so odd why there's 2 names. - the pdf doesn't have the static values tick and the other value on it- but I got that copied in from your post & the download - some other little applescript issues on the PDF, which I think are just issues with the full display. DOwnloading your script solves all fo that. - weird that iTunes doesn't have an automator command for finding the end of a tract. A friend told me there is one, but I didn't see it in the library. This is so neat. THis is what gets me excited about the mac, I have to say. thanks again! I'll add your dialogue box bit tomorrow.

I've been looking for alarms for ever, and I built my own (sans applescript) which worked nowhere near as well as yours does. Easy to work with and expand to add new functions! Well done.

I had set up one myself almost exactly like it except for the incorporation of applescript. I have been looking for a way to get World News Now to play automatically every morning and your script works great. Thanks for some great code. Your alarm is amazing.

After the oral exam, all I have to do in order to get my PhD is write a book about something. Instead of plunging back into my books and notes when I got home today, I really needed something to relieve my stress. I wanted to program something, anything really. I decided to bring my new alarm to the next level. It has been working wonderfully. However, to “set my alarm” each day I have to create an iCal event that triggers the elaborate process described in my previous posting. That is still not streamlined enough for me. If I woke up at the same time everyday like normal people I could just create a repeating event but my unhealthy sleeping schedule varies wildly.
