As you probably know, you can set up iCal Events to notify you by email. Apple recently described a method whereby iCal could be used to schedule AppleScripts to be run at scheduled times, rather than send email. This method involves editing the iCal Package installation, which is not difficult to do, and replacing an AppleScript with another provided by Apple. You can read about it on Apple's site.

Once you have set up iCal Events to fire AppleScripts, you can create some AppleScripts to control iTunes. I have just posted this article at my site on how to set up some simple scripts, including a handy iTunes Alarm Clock!
