Hi all,
i was wondering if you can set windows media player or winamp to run as a scheduled task, and autoplay as well when it starts. I want to use this as a kind of an alarm clock. I can't find a command that will autoplay the music file/CD on either programs.
Is there any third party progs that do it?

Its interesting to use Winamp as an alarm clock. I went through the wizard to schedule Winamp, but I don't know how you could get a file to run with it. Unless in the command line box, you can modify it so it loads a file.

Put something like this in a batch file, then schedule the batch file to run:

cd G:\My Music\Rage Against The Machine
start WakeUp.mp3
exit

You can use a single mp3 or use a playlist file (asx).

Yep it works. Nice one Davros thanks for the tip.
