Comment on Engineering a Better Alarm Clock

Comments

I hate having to wake up on mornings but love music. This is how I solved it:

I have installed the linux-dist openwrt on my Asus WL-500g Deluxe router. This router has two USB-ports to which I have connected an USB-soundcard and a 80gig 2.5 hard-drive. On the device I have installed Music Player Daemon which makes it possible to play music by controlling it either by php, or a MPD-client.

The client I'm using is a modified version of Pmix for my android phone. It's open-source, so downloaded it and added an alarm feature. Before turning of the light I set the time and select which albums it should play.

Works like a charm!
