View Full Version : Alarm Clock
I'm running the 2.0 iPod, and it won't let me set a different sound for the alarm clock. I can set the time, and it will beep, but when I go into the sound selection, and select one of my playlists, it doesn't change the sound from "beep"! It's kinda annoying, since the beeping noise is awful :P Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

this seems to be a bug which quite a few people have reported.. however, i was just wondering, with only a simple speaker how's the ipod gonna give a musical alarm? wouldn't you have to put earphones on first?

I think what you are supposed to do is hear the beep, wake up, put your headphones on, and then listen to your music alarm to wake you up. J/K :D
I don't think you can play the music alarm w/o a external speaker (enless you sleep with your headphones on).

that's not very practical at all.. i think the best would be to give it some handphone style beep alerts.. either way it doesn't seem musical alarm works? quite a few issues apple needs to fix on their next firmware update eh..

I've only been able to get the beep to work with the alarm clock. I tried using other playlists but with no luck. I did try to sleep with my sonys in (ex70's) and woke up half strangled. My girlfriend was LHAO when she woke up and saw me... Ohhhhh the humliation of testing features in your sleep ;)
