Calando v1.1.1

Calando is a small application that gradually fades your system volume over a specified period of time. It was written so that I could fall asleep listening to iTunes, and have the volume gradually be reduced as I slept.

Installation

Drag Calando to your Applications folder. To uninstall, just move Calando to the trash.

Usage

Calando has only two options, ending volume, and duration. The ending volume slider allows you to select what the final system volume will be after the time specified in the duration field. The final volume selection can range between mute (all the way to the left), and no change (all the way to the right).

Troubleshooting and Contact Information

I've been using Calando for quite some time, but it isn't very well tested on other machines or audio setups. If it doesn't work for you, please send an email to scsibug@imap.cc with the following information:

MacOS X version number
Macintosh model
Anything peculiar about your audio setup

License

Calando is distributed under the 3-clause BSD license. See the file "LICENSE.txt" in the source distribution for a copy of the license text.

Acknowledgements

Great thanks to Michael C. Thornburgh for the MTCoreAudio framework. It provided invaluable examples of how to use the CoreAudio framework for volume adjustment.

Thanks to Remko Tronçon for his Makefile to generate DMG images, and his binary builds of darcs.
