Product Description:

iCal Calling iTunes! is an AppleScript application that allows you to use iCal events to schedule iTunes playlists to play. From simple iTunes alarm clock to sophisticated background music scheduler...iCal Calling iTunes! gives you whatever level of flexibility you need! Simply enter the names of iTunes playlists as new events in iCal, set the start and stop times of each event, and iCal Calling iTunes! takes care of watching the clock and playing your iTunes playlists throughout the day, from startup in the morning 'til shutdown at night. You can schedule music hours, days, weeks, even months in advance!

With iCal Calling iTunes! you can:
  • Schedule the start and stop times of iTunes playlists, Smart Playlists, and Folder Playlists
  • Schedule internet radio stations to play
  • Schedule playlist events to repeat every day, every x days, every week, different days every week
  • Change event times or create new events while the appplication is running
  • Set playlists to shuffle before playing
  • Set – or fade up to – a specific start volume for each scheduled playlist
  • Assign one of several scheduling calendars


This version of iCal Calling iTunes! runs in full-feature demo mode. In demo mode all features are available, however it will only run for 3 hours at a time. After you pay the shareware fee, you will receive a code that takes iCal Calling iTunes! out of demo mode so it can run unencumbered.

This update is free for registered users.

iCal Calling iTunes! Developer NoteSorry iCal v2.0 Fans - Version: 3.5, 5/15/2005 07:25PM PST

DougScripts (Doug's AppleScripts)
The current version of iCal Calling iTunes! is rendered useless by iCal v2.0, which has removed the "status" option from the Event's Info Window. iCal 2.0 no longer uses the "status" option in an Event's Info window which limits the functionality of iCal Calling iTunes! This presents me with a problem since the "status" option controlled how a Playlist scheduled in an Event is handled.
