How can I get Daypart to start and play a Schedule when my computer starts up?
Technically, Daypart isn’t an alarm-clock-like application (there are quite a number of good iTunes alarm clock apps). However: Assign Daypart as a Login Item for your Account in System Preferences. In Daypart, select “Load Most Recent Schedule in Player and Engage” as the Startup Action in General Preferences. Load a Schedule into the Daypart Player; that’s the one that is now the “most recent” and that Schedule will play at startup. If your computer is scheduled to Shut Down, you should make sure that the Shut Down time is at least a few minutes after the last Playlist Event for the day in Daypart is scheduled to Stop (be sure to take into consideration that a Playlist Event’s Outro Action may be set to “last song cold” and therefore will probably stop somewhat after the scheduled Stop Time); at any rate, Shut Down should not occur while Daypart has a Current Playlist Event playing.
