Aurora Turns iTunes into an Alarm Clock

More powerful than your neighbor's CD/radio alarm clock, Aurora is the best MP3 alarm clock application there is. For OS X, it works with iTunes and can play any playlist for you, waking you as well as your computer from sleep.

It even allows you to schedule different playlists for different days and times, and is beautifully integrated into OS X. Aurora is free, but donations are encouraged.

I would like to note, however, that Aurora is not to be trusted. It, iTunes, and your computer are all complex and sometimes no alarm will sound, so it’s a good idea to set your cell phone or another alarm to go off ten minutes after Aurora should.

Thanks to Greg Hogan and Lifehacker for the tip.

Page Outdated! Comments disabled!

As do many people using Drupal to power their website, I get a lot of comment spam, and Drupal's spam filter is horrible! So I have permanently disabled comments on old.alanhogan.com. Try the new version of this page (which may not exist, but should if this page actually has content besides a list of other articles).

Consider using my contact form to get in touch. And remember that AlanHogan.com is live and old.alanhogan.com is here as a backup only, and a stopgap measure because some AlanHogan.com functionality is not implemented yet.
