Oh yeah...

Number one on my list would be a simple change to the snooze bar - having slept in this morning

How about having a press anywhere on the screen start it snoozing, and have a small area to turn off after that. That way, us fumbling morning-haters don't have to wake up and specifically hit the bottom of the screen to get into snooze-mode. Yeah, I missed the snooze bar... didn't notice because I wasn't really awake. Woke up later, looked at the clock, groggily comprehended that I had to be at work in 20 minutes, fumbled around to find some significance in that, the bolted upright when it hit me. I hate waking up like that.

I'd much rather listen to "Minnie the Moocher" a few times while my mind clears. The quiet at first and then progressively louder is great.

Though, as suggestion number two, way less important than the snooze bar thing, would be to scale the volume increase over the length of the mp3 file. Thus, a long file would sssllllooowwwlyyy increase in volume, giving plenty of time to hit snooze, while a short one would be blaring right away. Though, it might be a pain to calculate the length of a file in seconds of play. Again, not that big a deal. Just a thought.

Great app though, it means we'll always have a use for the N810, no matter how obsolete, dead batteries, whatever. It can always sit there and be a really cool clock Thanks for all the work.
