The Scheduled Recording / Calendar Event

Easy iCal editing

A scheduled recording appears in the iRecordMusic calendar as an event, and can be manipulated to adjust the scheduled recordings.

  • Change the name of the scheduled recording (which will create a folder of that name in the download folder)

  • Change the start and end times of recording

  • Set-up repeating events e.g. daily, weekly recordings

  • Re-use an event recording, by moving the event elsewhere, or copying it

[Important]Important
You must select the iRecordMusic menu option "Scheduler-->Refresh iRecordMusic Calendar" after you change your recording schedule events in iCal. This checks the calendar, cleans it up, and ensures the recordings will proceed as planned.
