Bascially, I'm sick of alarm noises, and my phone plays music too silently to wake me up properly ( I mean it awakes me but I just turn it off and either go back to sleep or I'm simply half dead when getting up), can I leave my pc running and so it starts playing audio from a particular moment ? Atm to wake me up ''properly'' I have to use an alarm sound on my phone, turn it off, somehow manage to get out of bed turn on pc, wait 5 mins, then blast music to wake me up proper. It simply takes too long, I want to wake up properly sooner. Don't tell me just to get a loud alarm, the last one got smashed with a hammer because I detest the noise, it must be music of my choice.

Basically I want to be awaken loudly, but with nice music, I don't know Frank Klepacki's Hell march should wake me up when loud :D.

Any app that does this ?

Seems to be a waste of money just for an alarm i.e. leaving the PC on all night just for a 5 mins blast of music in the morning.

Back on topic, won't Windows "Task Scheduler" be able to do this?

I would just get yourself a cheap DAB clock/radio and set it to wake you up to your favourite station.

A dawn simulator alarm could be the answer... It gradually brightens the bulb during the half hour before the alarm goes off, which helps many people wake up more pleasantly, especially sufferers of seasonal affective disorder.

Click to expand...

Get a cattle fence(electric)and wire that up to some electrodes and tape them to your ********, then connect it to a timer................
THAT will wake you up.
 
+1 for the clock radio

Over the course of about 18 months I bet it would pay for itself in savings not leaving your PC on overnight. :)
 
Actually what I used to do is set up the task to play a playlist in Media Player in task scheduler, then set it to wake the computer in the task options.

Hibernate overnight and in the morning, computer boots up and blasts some...Haydn or Mozart..or whatever :p

(it is so much nicer than the alarm clock sound :D)
