iSnooze

• Added an excellent new icon by Vincent Picard (vincentpcrd@gmail.com)

• Attempt to not play the same song over and over again (in shuffle mode)

• iSnooze now displays all day names in the user's default language
• Disabled alarms now display "(X)" in the list of alarms instead of "(D!)"

• You can now disable alarms from the configuration screen. This is useful, for instance, if you have a temporary schedule change one day, but don't want to delete your normal scheduled alarms.
• The system tray icon now turns red if the alarm is not set to go off, for any reason: no alarms are set, alarms are disabled, all alarms are set to disabled, no alarms have any days set...
• Changed the volume increaser to start from 30% instead of 0%. iTunes is practically silent for that whole range anyway.
• The most important change...iTunesAlarm has been renamed to iSnooze. When samyi.org suggested I make this program, I was said to myself "hmmm, ok, sounds like a good idea" without even bothering to check if it already existed. Well, various programs like iSnooze exist, but I still think mine is the best, so I will continue to maintain it, and as always, it is Open Source. I had to change the name because "iTunesAlarm" already exists. My apologies to Bill Zeller, I didn't mean to create any confusion. This time around, I did search Google for "iSnooze" and I think it's OK. Thanks to samyi.org for the name, and thanks to everybody else who helped. It was almost named "Dream Destroyer 3000" thanks to Emily...but that's just too harsh:) BTW, great minds must think alike, or something, because iSnooze & Bill Zeller's O.G. iTunesAlarm are alike in almost every way, it was crazy. Same installer, most of the same features, same name, same registry location...we even both considered deleting the registry key on Uninstall (I changed my mind, he left it in), which created some confusion when I uninstalled his iTunesAlarm for the first time. That'll teach me to not neglect using a VendorName under HKCU\Software...

• Changed check menu item text from "Alarm Enabled" to "Enable Alarm?"
• Made the system tray icon turn red when the alarm is disabled
• Yes, my main tester man and idea man samyi.org forgot to put his mouse over the alarm icon one night and his alarm was disabled and he did not get to work until very late. He was very angry at myself and iSnooze and threatened to quit using it and sue me and my pet lizard if his changes were not implemented IMMEDIATELY. I aim to please, and such, so here it is. Now I need to hurry so I'm not late to work. Seriously though, these were good changes. TODO Figure out why shuffle isn't working!

• Lets you have multiple alarm schedules (have one for the weekend, perhaps, or different times on different days to account for school schedules)
• Lets you cancel a pending snooze alarm before it goes off (thus stopping the alarm)

• Automatically opens configure dialog on first run
• Allows you to select which days the alarm will go off

• Choose a playlist, optional shuffle
• Increases volume gradually over a specified time
• Can minimize iTunes when setting off alarm
• Can run iSnooze at startup
• Configurable snooze time
• Can pause when you hit the mouse or keyboard when the alarm is going off
• Handles the target playlist being renamed, or the target playlist being deleted and then recreated with the old name.
