AlarmHD
A full-featured alarm clock app for the Zune HD. Alarm or Sleep with playlist of your choice (or Shuffle All).
Current Version: 2.0.1.0
Latest Update: Addition of Snooze function.
Instructions:
Tap things that look like they should be tapped. Switching from Sleep to Alarm and back does not use swipe; just tap the inactive one. Same for Playlist / All Songs. Currently, Sleep is not a timer– set it to the time you want the music to stop.
DST explanation: Spring adds 1 hour, Fall does nothing.
Next Update: make Sleep a timer.

this application does not work, i load it onto my zune but when i try and open it, it starts to and then it restarts the zune system back up. i even deleted and redeployed it onto the zune hd
Actually, it works quite well. I am testing it right now. The interface is great and I love that it uses your playlists.
Alright, I’m getting mixed signals here. If the app didn’t work, could you tell me how many playlists you have on your device? That’s the only problem I can possibly see here.
i dont have any playliast on my zune hd , but when i deploy the game it goes onto the zune device fine with no problems but when i try and launch the alarm clock it just restarts the device over again!!!
Babygirl, try making a playlist and then launch the app. I’m not sure how its supposed to be set-up but its worth a shot
ok thank you very much
wow. I have got so say that this app is amazing! i really needed a new alarm clock (i have one that beeps like a watch, you freak out when some strangers watch beeps) I was even going to buy a stereo dock thingy just so I can wake up to good music, but now I don’t have to! 5/5!
i have a qestion… i put my alarm at noght, but i need ir in the morning, i start de app in the night and i leave the zune on plugged to a speakears, but it get out off the app, and it doesn’t make sounds :S
@WYFerrer– well, first of all, that’s not really a question, but you DO have to leave the app open all night. Don’t worry, the Tegra makes it not even get hot.
Oh, and everyone, I updated the app to work if you don’t have playlists, or if you somehow have an empty playlist. And as a result, there is now a Play All option for playing songs! Go ahead and download if that sounds like something you’d like. Other than that, there’s no real feature updates.
Wait.. now I understand.
Plug the Zune into a wall outlet to keep it from exiting automatically.
Redwing- a future enhancement: have it play selected podcasts as an alternative to playlists.
Can I do that? Haven’t checked to see if I can access the Podcast library in XNA, but it may be possible. If so, I’ll see what I can do… I don’t want to make the interface too complicated though.
The thing I’m putting in now is DST. Totally forgot about that, and last Sunday my alarm didn’t go off! XD
Hope this didn’t cause anyone problems…
Microsoft must really like some of our ideas
I’ve got to agree with babygirl. This app doesn’t work. It just reboots the zune hd. How do you get this to work? I have a playlist.
