Recommended Alarm Clock Software for PC and PPC

[snplow]

Hey RFD,

I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions for an MP3 alarm clock where I can make a playlist of songs and at the alarm time, the alarm clock will play music (with the ability to set to random is preferable). This is for either PC or PPC (or both :cheesygri )

Thanks!

Schedule a task in windows to open your mp3 player at a certain time with the playlist loaded, should work.

I've thought about doing that, but would it play automatically?

What about this? (http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptalarm.asp) I'm not sure it'll do a list, but it does say it will do audio tracks.

If you use task scheduler, make the shortcut directly to the mp3 file, it will launch that file at the specific time. But I can only get it to load 1 song.

Couldn't you just create a playlist and load the playlist with task scheduler...

I had to have a .bat file call the playlist.

.bat file had this in it: call c:\playlist.m3u

Can you PM me the bat file because I have no idea how to make one of those things

open notepad

type in: call c:\playlist.m3u

(make sure you have a playlist.m3u in your root directory with music)

Save as "c:\playme.bat"

I don't use windows scheduler but I imagine it should work.

I use this program to call the playme.bat: http://www.12ghosts.com/ghosts/timer.htm

I'm using Winamp to make my playlists.
