If there is a particular song you like to wake up to, for this example I'll call it "Start Me Up.mp3", then you can add a line to your /etc/crontab file with the command
open "/MusicFolder/Start Me Up.mp3"
Regardless of what iTunes is doing, it will start playing that song when the Cron event is tripped. Ain't it sweet?
hey symphonix

that sounds pretty simple except i don't know how to get cron running to insert my info.....
could you give me a some brief directions?

thanks a lot!
