I've been waiting for a proper internet radio alarm clock application for some time, and this topic is the closest if have come to finding a proper app.
Everything in this topic is great, but still a bit hard to use compared to proper application. Would there be need for an application? I can't really write any code myself, but I would really happy to for example designing the UI (and even the program) and doing testing.
Anyone interesting in this kind of project?
Edit:
Some thoughts, that are mostly from this topic:
some specifications:
- alarm sounds:
- regular alarm-tone
- using a song/artist/album/playlist/random song (built-in player library?)
- internet radio (built-in player library, custom url)
- ability to use wlan or 3G for internet radio
- daily alarms, recurring alarms by weekday
- etc.
I admit that I got a bit carried away there, the most simple option would be:
- choosing Wlan/3G
- setting an alarm time and the internet radio stream address (maybe using the built in player channel list?)
- under the hood the program sets the time for starting up the connection
- when the alarm goes off, the program starts up the internet some time before sending a play command and address to the built in player
- then there should be checks that the internet connection is up and the radio is playing, and if not, the program would play back-up alarmtone
- I'm thinking there is no need for snooze function
- All this with a simple and sleek user interface
