i agree jim_rage. :D
but a question, does it run off of the window's clock time? cause that time messes itself up often. I dont want to set my alarm on here, and have it wake me up an hour later :p
also, does it activate your computer if it's in a "sleep mode" type of situation? |

| Is there any way any of these can be set so that it plays a different track every day? I don't want to wake up with the same track playing EVERY morning. I want to set up a kind of playlist thingy where only certain tracks can be played but, I don't want to know what track will play because I don't want it to have a pattern (I don't want every Monday = this track and every Tuesday = that track or every 1st of each month = this track and every 2nd of each month = that track). Is all I'm looking for is something that will play a random track that I like that I have at a specific time every so often. |

| i use chameleon clock to wake me up with an mp3 or its selection of tones. its time doesn't mess up like the windows one because it syncs itself to the atomic clock in various locations you want it to. |

I just sync to the time server once a day, even though I leave my PC on 24-7. I often find that my watch keeps MUCH better time than my PC! My PC loses several seconds a day and I HAVE TO sync it up to the time server. Here's an EXCELLENT FREE PROGRAM to sync your clock either automatically at certain intervals or one time: http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefre...e-computer.html
It doesn't need to be installed or anything, just click on the EXE file, update the server list (read the manual for this) and you're ready to go! If you want something simpler, go to http://www.worldtimeserver.com/ and download Atomic Clock Sync, another free program. This one installs and is bigger than the other one, though. |

If there's a way that you can have your PC turn on automatically via timer, have the alarm clock set to start with Windows, ready to "go off". Now, set the boot-up time to 10-15 minutes before you want the alarm clock to play your track (if you want to wake up at 06:00, set the boot up time to 05:45 and the alarm time to 05:59). |

I was just thinking that.
I did an experiment, and the alarm DOES NOT make your cpu wake up from sleep mode.
I think there would be some kind of software, or scheduler within windows that can do it though? |

HAHahhaa, i did it..
You dont need an alarm clock program (someone already said this earlier)..
all you do is go into start> accessories> system tools> scheduled tasks.
then you make a new task, select it to open your mp3 or winamp playlist or whatever you want, and set it to play at the exact time, what days of the week you want, when to auto close the task, and you can set it to WAKE UP THE COMPUTER FROM SLEEP MODE to preform the task.
accompany this with the http://www.worldtimeserver.com/ program so you're window's clock stays in line, and your good to go.
this way I dont have to listen to the blarring loud fan of my computer when I'm sleeping, as it will be in sleep mode. |
