They will not reply, but it does get read.

I've found a way to do so and it does points already raised in posts from other members.

Open iCal

Create a new event

Choose the frequency of the event to occur - daily weekly etc.

Scroll down to Choose your Alert

Use the drop down and choose custom

From the first context box choose open file

From the second context box choose other

At this point Finder will open and you choose which file you wish to use as your alarm clock.

I choose a song from one of my play lists.

From the time context box choose "at time of event"

Choose Okay

You have no created an alarm clock with iCal and using a song from your library

Please note I am using OS 10.10.5

Thank you

iCal isn't available in Sierra. Calendar doesn't seem to have an alarm option. Week Calendar is for the iPain or the iPod. Not everyone can use pains or tablets. I had to stop using a regular alarm clock due to my strobe sensitivity.
