Waking up to music
by Okay, I'm not using a Mac.. (It's WinXP I'm running... I know, I know, surrey)
But, I want iTunes to wake me up.
Now, be it this was a Mac.. there's programs out there for this.. like Alarm Clock programs that make it simple.
But, how can I wake up to my iTunes playlist? Or do I hafta wait for a program to come out?

Thanks a lot. I'll check it out and give you a review on it.
Right, I found a web site.
- - after exporting my "waking up" iTunes playlist to "waking up.xml" I was able to convert that to "waking up.m3u" via the nifty site..
still, there's one slight prob.. when the waking up.m3u playlist is clicked on to open, iTunes opens right, & the first song in the playlist is played.. yet, when that first song finishes, iTunes plays the next song in the Library and then the next one in succession after that according to the Library order, so on and so on.. not the next song in the playlist as I'm very keen on wanting it to do.
okay, I solved one problem. i resulted to using scheduled tasks to schedule my computer to wake up since Citrus won't wake the computer.. now I just gotta think about what to do about the playlist so that when the alarm sounds, it plays my playlist in iTunes that I named "waking up." Yes I could just make the same list of songs in Windows Media Player or just about any other player & there'd be no problem to speak of... but I'm set on using iTunes. I've really come to love iTunes.
hey, thanks a lot. . that's coo. I searched for awhile trying to find something worthwhile.
i'd kinda like iTunes to open tho @ a set time [wake my computer up from Sleep first], and my library or playlist play and play each song down the list until I stop it.. . know what I mean?
this doesn't do that? hm, i thought it did, but i didn't test it out personally
Not that I know of.. I'll take a closer look
Something I just noticed is that when you make a playlist in iTunes, it isn't like a m3u or pls or anything. The information for the playlist is contained within XML. So, slight problem there.
Also, I found out today that Citrus doesn't wake the computer up from sleep.
