macOS

I want my Mac to “wake up” at 7:00 every morning > play my favorite radio station in iTunes > and go from 0% to 70% volume within 10 minutes.
Is it possible? How?

Answer 1

You can hang the launch of the Automator script on a reminder in iCal. Actually, here it is just written how to do exactly what you want, including a gradual change in volume:

Answer 2

If iTunes is not critical, then you put Linux, mplayer and at in the virtual machine and run it there

$ echo "amixer -q sset Master mute
mplayer http://my.favorite.rf/radio station.ogg
for i in `seq 7`; do
    sleep $((60 * 10 / 7))
    amixer -q sset Master $(($i * 70 / 7))% unmute;
done" | at 06:00
