Is there any alarm clock software that can turn the computer on or wake it up from standby/hibernation, and play selected mp3 file at the required time?
E.g say I set an alarm for 7 am and turn off/hibernate/standby the computer. Is there any app that would wake up the computer automatically at 7 am and play the alarm?
I'm on windows xp but if any other OS has any such option, I'll be interested in hearing.
Answer
What type of router do you have? Reflash it with a Linux , and setup a crontab entry to send out the magic wake on LAN packet. Configure computer to accept wake on lan. Setup a scheduled task to play at the appropriate time.
