Hi,
I would like to set up my computer to play MP3 music automatically so it can be used as an alarm clock. I can set up starting at certain time in the BIOS, and I can get either Windows Media Player or Foobar 2000 (my usual player) to run on startup through Windows task scheduler, but not actually to play. Is this possible? I am using XP home. If possible, I would prefer to be able to use Foobar to do this, but WMP is also ok. An y suggestions appreciated!!

Have you tried to actually copy the mp3 into the startup folder in the start menu, maybe that would start up a player like you double clicked it.
