I know there is an alarm that plays one Mp3, I am not sure about a playlist.

I am sure you can find out how to make it the full version.

How about a scheduled task that launches WinAMP (or your favorite media player) with a playlist parameter? That wouldn't require any extra program.
Haven't tried it, mind you, but a scheduled task can run any application and most media players accept playlist arguments to their command-line, so it should be possible.

dmorris, couldn't he just have it open the playlist file (.pls) on a scheduled time?

As long as the .plsurl==http://=http:///url file is associated with a media player, then yes that should work too. But since you'd be executing a command-line you might need to use the START command to do it, i.e. [b950ed8aa98]start myplaylist.pls[/b950ed8aa98]

Yes, I meant it as if the file was associated with Winamp. However, wouldn't the playlist start automatically once opened?
