Alarm?

[Behemoth]

Is there an alarm I can set in Windows? Like a bedside alarm clock but noisier?

[JoshT]

I think I wrote a program that'll work as an alarm clock and plays a *.wav file of your choosing once.

[chrisjk]

like an alerty clocky scheduler thing?

I like xReminder pro (http://www.dualitysoft.com/xreminder/). It's not exactly free but it's good stuff. It's won loads of awards and stuff

[SLH]

There's a plugin for winamp2.x called something like xAlarm.

[JungleMan]

Doesn't Filburt's program Tiny Clock do that?

[chrisjk]

I asked him before and he said no

[crptcblade]

Wow, what a totally useless piece of sh*t. (Not you chris)

:p

Yes it can...sorta...just requires some creativeness. It can launch a program on teh hour and I think it can open a URL on demand too which should work for sound files too.

Been a while since I dusted off the code ;)

in windows u can set schedual tasks to run... its desgined for .exe files.... but if u browse and then select an mp3 it works fine...

depending on which version on windows... depends on how u go about setting them up

OK then
start > Program Files > Accessories > System Tools > Schedual Tasks

Double Click Add Task, Click Next.. and then follow the wizard through

[Behemoth]

That was exactly what I was looking for. I feel kinda stupid now. Thanks all

Josh, cheers for that program. I don't have a lot of wavs on my system, but ill dig a couple out. Im sure that'll be useful in the future. :)

[beasty1711]

just remeber to adjust ur volume level the night before etc

[Behemoth]

heheh

Yeh, thanks again.

You could always write your own in VB. Would only be a five minute job. You keep saying you're going to learn a bit of VB one day....

[Behemoth]

I could, but I've found what I was looking for now ;)

[Lord Rayv3n]

i would like some ideas on how to make an alarm that plays mp3's or wav's. but i need to be able to set it for once daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or one time only.
any ideas would be helpfull.
:D
or if anyone could get this one to work that would help.
its not mine its one i found by accident.
