Waking up with iTunes

Want to use iTunes as a wake up alarm? Copy the second script by David Schlosnagle found at Macosxhints and add the playlist functionality.

Then use crontab to wake up with your favorite iTunes playlist:

30      7,16    *       *       1,2,3,4,5       ~/iTunesCli.sh playlist _Chill 1</dev/null
0       9       *       *       6,7     ~/iTunesCli.sh playlist My\ Top\ Rated\ Songs 1</dev/null
0       10,19   *       *       *       ~/iTunesCli.sh stop 1</dev/null
