Does anyone use their computer as an alarm clock, and if so what programs do you use?

arch13 · 01-11-2005, 02:07 PM

I'm very fond of WakeMeUp. it plays an Mp3 or Cd through the systems sound card to wake you up at a desired time. Want a 15minute snooze? just hit the space bar.

hey that sounds like a good plan. you could put a wireless keyboard by your bed!!

i used to hafve a program called mp3 alarm clock. you set a time an mp3 file and it will play it at the specified time. you can prob find it at www.downloads.com

i have my system turn on at 8:00 am, im a light sleeper and the mix of the fans and the monitor charging wakes me up. i have it set to boot at 8:00 in the bios. its easy to set up.

... and if i need an extra bit i can set winamp to autoload on startup and auto play on load.

i use a program called gAlarm

its pretty decent. the only bad thing is that i can't save my preferences.
so everytime i start the program, i have to manually put in what time it goes off.

Crisis · 01-14-2005, 09:33 PM

I use a plug-in for Winamp.

djtestudo · 01-14-2005, 09:49 PM

I have a program called College Alarm Clock. Let's you set different times for different days if you want, plus can use your own sounds/mp3s as the alarm.

Huh, I didn't know that there was specific software for this.

I just used Windows Task Scheduler. I set it to run a "program", pick my MP3 to run, and set the time. Windows auto starts Winamp, which the night before I cranked up the volume all the way, and it works fine. With the skin I have selected too, it takes me a few minutes to find the little x, in which time I get good and awake.

Now that I know different products, though, I may try them out. Thanks for the info.
