...there appears to be no option to select music files outside the iTunes playlist. If, for example I wanted to use one of the many included sample alarms, I would have to add these to iTunes first.

Add Sample Alarms to iTunes - McClie
The point of the original comment is that alarms have to be added to iTunes, not how to do it. You forgot the third stage, setting your iPod to only update with a playlist to exclude alarms and likewise only playing iTunes on shuffle from such a playlist. Having to put alarms into iTunes is not a good idea, this is not what iTunes is designed for.Thursday, February 16 2006 @ 02:28 PM PST

You are correct. I apologize that I misunderstood your original comment.As far as putting sample alarms into iTunes, I still think it is a good idea. I like the flexibility of having the choice to either wake up to any song from my iTunes library, or to a traditional alarm sound. Having one place to go for selecting an alarm sound (music or alarm) is handy.
More to your point, if you don't want to have the alarm sounds ever play in iTunes, then simply uncheck them in iTunes (The check box next to the name of the song). That way they won't ever be played, unless you specifically double-click them. This way you won't ever be annoyed during a shuffle in your library, or be bothered by the fact that the alarms on on your iPod. They won't play accidentally if they are not checked.

As the developer tells you when you first open the DMG, you can simply import all of the sample alarms into your iTiunes Music library, then you can choose anything you want, song or alarm.If you are not familiar with manually importing items into your iTunes library, it is very easy to do. First, if you you did not save the optional sample alarms folder when you first downloaded Alarm Clock 2.1.5, then download it again, then drag the optional standard alarms folder to your desktop.
1. Open iTunes.
2. Select FILE>ADD TO LIBRARY
3. Select your Sample Alarms Folder (on your desktop).
4. Select ALL of the alarm sounds that are in the folder
by pressing Command + A.
5. Click CHOOSE.
That's it. You're ready to go. You can now select from any alarm sound, or any song in your iTunes library, directly from the Alarm program that is now sitting on your menu bar.
