Aurora ReviewA disappointing release - Version: 4.0.8, 3/2/2008 01:36PM PST

I used to use Aurora as my default alarm clock, but everything I liked about it then is now missing.
I don't take my Mac to bed with me so it was great to be able set the alarm and for AirTunes to direct the music to the speakers by my bed. In this release you can no longer do that. All output comes out of the Mac no matter what set of external speakers I use. So it seems that Aurora is bypassing AirTunes.
The other backward step is that Aurora seems to no longer pick up the playlists on your iPod if it's connected to iTunes. I manually manage my music so invariably my most important music is on the iPod because I listen to that more than iTunes.

So now the search is on for some better software. Bad move on the part of the developers.

Alarm Clock is the best alarm clock application and it is free. The only problem - it is not compatible with Leopard, yet.

Aurora ReviewApplication quit - Version: 3.3.4, 9/23/2007 04:13PM PST

I WOULD love this application. It spared me from having EyeTV or DVD menus playing all night after I fall asleep, however, the best option for this currently is to put your computer in sleep mode. I have background applications running that I want to continuing running, so this is not ideal. If only there were an option to simply quit the desired app after sleep countdown, I would consider it perfect for me needs and be happy to donate.
