Alarm application to wake the computer from standby/hibernation

[robjf]

Evening all!

My phone alarm has been pretty useless recently in being able to wake me up for lectures so ive started looking for an application to wake my computer from a suspended state and play an MP3. I run my audio through an amp so the sound levels are a little higher than my phone!

I was wondering whether anyone else does the same and if anyone had any recommendations at all? I have had a a bit of a search and have found a programme but it was only a trial. I am looking for a piece of freeware as i'm a very poor student at the moment!

Thanks again guys and cheers for any suggestions you may have

Rob.

After browsing several other forums i eventually found what looks to be exactly what i wanted! Its called the Alarm Clock of Justice V2 and it can be found here --> http://www.forrestheller.com/alarm2/

It works brilliantly and is very intuitive. Theres loads of different fade options and wakes up the computer with no problems whatsoever

My Asus motherboard can do it from BIOS...and I'm sure a lot of other systems I've played with could as well.

So long as I install the driver software onto Windows, the PC can boot and play music etc.
