50. ‘To Start Press Any Key’. Where’s the ANY key?

sometimes i do wish i was back home, enjoying a cup of coffee and newspaper in the morning while listening to music on the FM band. so what i did was to make it my morning routine, wake up to the sound of streaming pinoy FM radio in the morning using my laptop.

to set it up, these are the things you need:

• ADSL/DSL or any broadband connection
• Laptop/Desktop running Windows XP connected to the internet (via your broadband service)
• Windows Media player
• Links to streaming radio
• A pair (or set) of decent sounding speakers

first make sure that you can connect to the internet using your laptop/desktop. You can do this by either browsing any sites using IE or Firefox. Also, you need to ensure that your windows media can connect to the internet by opening it up and clicking on the advertisements that come out of it.

next step is to create the playlists that will include the URL of the streaming radio you want to wake up to. i made the list of URLS below:

• Monster RX 93.1 - mms://bayantel-ss.dagupan.com/monsterrx
• Crossover Manila FM - mms://bayantel-ss.dagupan.com/marecolo
• Wave 89.1 - mms://bayantel-ss.dagupan.com/wave
• Energy FM Metro Manila - mms://bayantel-ss.dagupan.com/energyfm-metromanila
• iFM Manila - mms://bayantel-ss.dagupan.com/ifm
• DWRT - mms://bayantel-ss.dagupan.com/dwrt
• 103.5 Heart FM - mms://bayantel-ss.dagupan.com/heart103.5
• 104.7 iFM Dagupan - mms://bayantel-ss.dagupan.com/ifm1047
• NU Rock - mms://bayantel-ss.dagupan.com/nu
• KissFM - mms://bayantel-ss.dagupan.com/kissfm

you need to create 1 playlist for each radio station (or only for the radio stations you want to tune in). open windows media player and click on File -> Open URL and copy and paste the “mms://…” streaming URL above that you want to listen to, then click OK.

after loading, the player would start to buffer. once buffering has started, you can now save it as a playlist (file –> save as new playlist).

Once you are done saving the playlist, you have to create your scheduled tasks.

Click on Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools - Scheduled Tasks

The Scheduler program will now open. Click on the New Task Icon and the wizard will appear

Click on next and it will ask you which program to run. Click on Browse and go to the directory where you saved the playlist and click on the playlist you want to schedule. Click open and then click next.

The wizard will now ask you to name the schedule program and choose how often the task would recur. For my case, I chose the task to run daily. Once you’re done, click next.

After then the wizard will ask you the time and date when the task will occur.

After this screen, click next. It will ask you the username/password that will be used when running the task. just input the information, click next and you’re set!

remember though, that this will not work if you are not connected to the internet. if you want to be safe, just create a playlist of songs available in your harddisk so that the task will surely function as an alarm. also, one requirement is that you have to make sure that your laptop/desktop is on overnight. else, the tasks will not run.
