when I bring the empeg inside, it's hooked up to my stereo in my room ... just thinking that it would make a wonderful alarm clock (my computer has an MP3 alarm that turns on WINAMP at a certain time, but I have so many more songs on the empeg) ... any chance a feature could be added in the next Beta that turns Empeg ON at a certain time? There's already a bunch of ways to turn it off (at the end of playlists, song, etc.), and I can't imagine that the programming would be all that difficult (although I know nothing about programming)

There is a wake-up timer built into Hijack (link at the top of this page). There is a third-party alarm clock utlility you can use as well, do a search on the BBS for it.
