Help w/ Windows Customization

(Preferably using Winamp)

I have a list of mp3's that I would like to play, and repeat - in random sequence. The tricky bit here is that I would like these to start playing at a set time every night, while I'm asleep. The computer is running 24/7, so it's just a matter of prompting Winamp to open and play these files at a set time, automatically

Is this possible in Windows XP?

Task manager?

What about "Task Manager?"

You'd need to learn how to write a script to interact with Winamp, then use Scheduled Task manager (in windows control panel) to launch it at a certain time.

Sounds like something that might already be written.

And where would be my best to search for something like this that's already been made?

[Ninot]

Sounds like an easy enough task for a batch file.

[Zylka]

I do not know what that means. Is there any chance, here - of actually being informed of what program to use, how to use it, where to go to find either out, etc?

If winamp has command-line options, you could just run winamp with those in the aforementioned task task manager.

Winamp has several "alarm clock" plugins that would do this. Search on www.nullsoft.com.

Tentative is in my head, Shivy. You need to drop some of the Hindi-centric retardation before making the real meal deal
