I listen to a lot of internet radio and the commercials are driving me nuts. Hitting mute works fine, but I often forget to un-mute. Is there an app out there that will drop the sound for a specified amount of time? This can be system-wide, not application specific.

You could do this in an AppleScript pretty easily.

Code:
set currentVolume to get (sound volume) -- get current value
set volume 0 -- mute
do shell script ("sleep 30") -- sleep 30 seconds
set volume currentVolume -- put volume back

You'll need the Jon's Commands to do the "sound volume" part, but otherwise it should be ok. This is untested, so your miles may vary.

Thanks Arkham, I'll give that a try. This will be my first foray into AS.
