Is there an alarm I can set in Windows? Like a bedside alarm clock but noisier?
I think I wrote a program that'll work as an alarm clock and plays a *.wav file of your choosing once.
like an alerty clocky scheduler thing?
I like xReminder pro. It's not exactly free but it's good stuff. It's won loads of awards and stuff
There's a plugin for winamp2.x called something like xAlarm.
Doesn't Filburt's program Tiny Clock do that?
I asked him before and he said no
Wow, what a totally useless piece of sh*t. (Not you chris)
:p
be glad you added that ;)Quote:

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.Quote:

Been a while since I dusted off the code ;)
all developers know that users have no creativity or independent thought ;)Quote:

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
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. :)
just remeber to adjust ur volume level the night before etc
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....
I could, but I've found what I was looking for now ;)
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.
