the Rooster is Mute 
- Version: 2.5.1, 4/24/2008 06:05AM PST

This delightful little program started displaying an annoying quirk a few months ago (I think when I upgraded to Leopard) that makes it all but useless: all too often, an alarm will fire and the rooster will THINK he's singing (i.e., the snooze alarm comes up, showing the song that's currently playing) except that no actual sound comes out of the Mac (even though the Mac's system volume is up). I suspect this is some bug in the way iRooster passes commands to the OS -- when it is in the state, i've had the experience of putting the Mac (a macbook pro in my case) to sleep with the alarm supposedly running and waking it back up -- and immediately the song plays at full volume. Quite a few people have posted the same problem on the Chimp user forum, but no one has posted a solution. I emailed the developer and got no response. So for now at least, the Rooster is retired to his coop and I will have to rely on other solutions for a reliable alarm.

I've had no consistency with iRooster thusfar. I like the easy-to-use interface, but the application is not being consistent on my iMac G5. I run OS X 10.4.5. Any suggestions??
Thanks,

Really needs slow volume ramp up - Version: 2.2 Beta 5, 10/24/2005 01:19PM PST

Slow volume ramping is absolutely essential. It's hard to beat iTaf:
<http://itaf.sourceforge.net/>
for the iTunes alarm clock function.
The only complaint I have with iTaf is that it always seems to restart playback at the same place in the playlist or library, even with both it and iTunes in shuffle mode, so I wake up with the same songs every day unless I manually reshuffle with iTunes. If iRooster would add slow volume ramping and good randomization I'd switch, as iTaf's author doesn't seem too responsive to suggestions...
