I decided that I wanted to use my computer as an alarm clock, but I couldn’t get the stupid windows scheduler to open winamp and start randomly playing a song for me (it would run, but nothing would happen).

I found a way to fix that! All I have to do is open winamp before I goto bed, and just minimize it (I have it set to show up in the system tray and not the task bar), and then with the help of a plugin, it will play a random mp3 file from a playlist at a set time.

that plugin is right here

1.set-up winamp to only show up in system tray, not task bar.

2.set-up alarm clock plugin.

3.open winamp and minimize before going to bed.

4.wake up to random favorite song in the morning.
