Version 1.x of Snowtape does not provide scheduled recordings yet. However Snowtape is providing a scripting interface for you to access via AppleScript. This scripting interface provides functionality to select a radio station and start and stop recording. With the help of iCal you can schedule these scripts. And here is how to do so:

1. Write an AppleScript to select the radio station you want to record and start recording.
   
2. Write an AppleScript to stop recording. Optionally you can add some code to send the Mac to sleep after the recording is done.
   
3. Open iCal and make two new events. One for invoking the “Start Recording” script and one for invoking the “Stop Recording” script.
   
4. As alarm you can choose to run an AppleScript. Select ‘Run Script’ as seen in the picture and select the script you want to be invoked at that time. You should make sure that the alarm is set to go off at the exact time you like it to go off and not 15 minutes before that (set as Default).
5. Do so with the stop-script as well.
   

After that you can quit Snowtape and proceed with your other work. Just make sure that the Mac is running when the start-script should be invoked. Using this technique you can easily create events that are invoked on a regular basis to recording recurring radio shows.
