Just to be sure what you're asking for: Are you suggesting that when you select a sound file, there should be an option available to select which application to use to play it, rather than just use aRts as KAlarm does currently? that sounds like a good idea. And then features such as start vol... max fade-in volume, duration of fade-in, option to stop an alread-playing player... for those of us who sleep by the computer listening to streams, playlist selection (current, or other-something specific you usually never listen to)... a specific song.... repeated or not repeated, and snooze! I know this is a lot.. but worth the effort. Mac even did a commercial in the 90's advertising using music as an alarm.

Bear in mind that applications can come and go, and possibly change their interfaces. This is really best handled by the Special Actions feature, where any command can be entered by the user to achieve their aim. |
