PC Alarm Clock recommendations?

Ello,

I just decided it would be cool if my computer could turn itself on, and wake me up to a playlist of my music.

Ive looked, and there is plenty of software that will wake you up to music, and shut your computer down, but does anyone know if there is any that can turn the computer on and then play the music?

I'm sure there is a better way to do this...

But a lot of the newer PCs have a BIOS which have a "turn on" function, so you can set a time, and they will turn on.

Combine this with a script (Or just throw something in the startup folder) - And wallah simple yet effective (Unless your PC doesn't start into windows for whatever reason!)

Or put the computer into sleep mode and let the application wake it up.

Ah, grand idea. Ill check the Bios, and then just use one of those alarm music programs like you said terra

if you've got an ipod or mp3 player, most of them already have an music alarm you can plug into speakers.

lol you can set it to sync randomly lol, so every time you plug it in, it copies 16GB of new music. But yeh, see how the bios thing goes.
