Existing users, 
This seemed promising so I tested it by setting it as my only alarm (I'm between jobs). It beach balled and when it does there is no way to recover as it does not appear in the Force Quit list even when not beach balling. Fortunately I have a unix background so I was able to open a Terminal do a ps -ax and kill the process. I retested it this morning by setting the alarm a minute ahead and it worked. It possibly beach balled trying to wake from sleep. This is on a iBook G4 running Tiger (10.4.5).
PS, it should not expect you to put alarms into iTunes, imagine the annoyance when the iTunes shuffles to classic alarm clock!

Uncheck optional sample alarms in iTunes - McClie
Thanks for that. I had not previously realised that shuffle could be ignored through the check box. I had followed the advice an Apple forum to shuffle on playlists as the only way to avoid unwanted tunes being shuffled to.Friday, April 07 2006 @ 04:58 PM PDT
Uncheck optional sample alarms in iTunes - Robbie Hanson
The sample alarms that come with the application are optional. If you want to, you may add them to iTunes, which in turn will allow you to use them in the alarm clock application.If you don't want to have them 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. So you won't ever be annoyed during a shuffle in your library.
