Quick Overview
You can use a timer in an AH Pro Preset to hijack an application at a specified time and for a specified interval. This can be useful for turning any application into an alarm clock, or for the timed recording of Internet radio streams. You will set up a Session similar to how we did it in the "Hijacking" section. It is likely you will wish to target a file, as most applications do not automatically begin playing audio when launched.
Timed Recordings
Timed recordings allow you to use Audio Hijack Pro just like a VCR. You will most likely wish to record an internet stream, so you'll need a bookmark file for that stream. These bookmark files tell the target application exactly what stream to open. For more information on bookmark files and setting up Timed Recordings, see the Finding Stream URLs page in the Advanced Topics section.
Creating An Alarm Clock
For a simple alarm clock, drag an audio file to the Audio Hijack Pro Source list - this will create a new Session, targeting the appropriate application and that file. Once the AH Pro Target is properly set, adjust the Timer controls. Create a new Timer by clicking the + button below the Timers table, then set the date or day(s) it will run. Next, set the Start and End times for the hijacking. For a basic alarm clock, just set the End Time an hour after the Start Time. You should now be all set and the Description column should show when the Timer will fire.
