does anyone know of or would be interesting in writing a program that is an alarm clock for your computer that plays ogg vorbis files? i used to have one that played mp3z before i heard about vorbis, but it got trashed somewhere and i can't find it again because i forget what it was called. but i would be interested to have one that plays ogg vorbis files, as right now the only alarm clock i have is an actual alarm clock that either has a really loud beeper or plays the radio, and i'm tired of all the radio stations around here =) one feature i liked on the old alarm clock i had was it had a fade-in time that you could set to fade in for x seconds, that way it didn't blast you awake, it faded in, getting louder and louder until you wake up and either listen or turn it off, or hit snooze. thank you!

/usr/sbin/at gives you a good proportion of what you require (the path might be different but the name remains the same ;-) Richard "Andy (Dale)" wrote:> does anyone know of or would be interesting in writing a program that is an > alarm clock for your computer that plays ogg vorbis files? i used to have > one that played mp3z before i heard about vorbis, but it got trashed > somewhere and i can't find it again because i forget what it was called. > but i would be interested to have one that plays ogg vorbis files, as right > now the only alarm clock i have is an actual alarm clock that either has a > really loud beeper or plays the radio, and i'm tired of all the radio > stations around here =) one feature i liked on the old alarm clock i had > was it had a fade-in time that you could set to fade in for x seconds, that > way it didn't blast you awake, it faded in, getting louder and louder until > you wake up and either listen or turn it off, or hit snooze. thank you! > > Andy > andycool22@peoplepc.com > AndyCool22 on AIM > http://livejournal.com/~andycool22 > > --- >8 ---- > List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ > Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ > To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' > containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

There is an XMMS plugin that does this, and probably a Winamp one, too..

hi, I used to use winamp (with ogg plugin), I just told the Scheduled Task thing to run a a playlist at x:xx. But it always annoyed me when something crashed at 4 in the morning and windows made stupid noises. Fading the music up sounds like a nice idea though regards Neil --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
