Basics

There's no need to stay up all night to listen to broadcasts from the other side of the world. iRecordMusic works with iCal to enable easy scheduling of recording so you never miss your favourite radio show.

iRecordMusic works with an iCal calendar called "iRecordMusic". The "iRecordMusic" calendar is created either manually, by yourself, or automatically by iRecordMusic.

Events are treated as scheduled recordings, and contain all the information required for iRecordMusic to make a recording.

Note that at present, the computer should not be allowed to sleep, as iCal is not currently able to wake up a computer from sleep. You can choose to change the sleep settings or set up wake-up times in System Preferences under "Energy Saver". (We hope to address this issue in the future)
