Create Alarm Using PC

Now this is specially for the ones who are too lazy like me to get up even when the trust cellphone dies screeching its lungs out. Its pretty simple Creating the playlist create a playlist of your favourite songs in Winamp, WMP or any other player. Export the playlist as a M3U playlist. M3U is generally accepted by almost every player.

To set up the alarm point go to
start> programs >accessories > system tools >scheduled tasks

There you see an icon called
Create a new task

Click that icon
Now a window appers before like this:



click Next now u see various options available



click browse and choose program as windows media player or winamp (May work with others too but I haven’t tried anything else)



Choose “daily”, Enter the time and choose “every day” at next screen.
It would now ask for password (leave blank in case you don’t have one)
and click finish( it may give error but ignore it)

now go again to
start> programs >accessories > system tools >scheduled tasks
there you will see your newly created task
Right click on it and check the “run only if logged in” check box. In the properties.

Append the path of the playlist you created in the “run” text box.
For example if your playlist is D:\myalarm.m3u then code should look like
"C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe"D:\myalarm.m3u
