I'm after a 3rd party alarm clock for my device.

Although the standard one works, I would like to be able to have the alarm sound with a random track from my MP3 directory.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I think Mortplayer has that functionality. I use it as my alarm, but not random tracks though.

Yeah, I've seen Mortplayer but I really liked the randomise feature when I used to use PocketMusic bundle on my old Wizzard, but it doesn't seem to wake the Hermes up properly.

Try enAlarm, you can find it here:

I think you can not add the directory itself, but you can add several mp3 files and then can play these files randomly.

I'm not trying to hijack your thread but u also see the problem with the normal alarm not waking the hermes up properly. I think its a general windows mobile problem.

I wish window mobile alarms were as dependable as the palm os alarms lol.

with having said that how does this work with the wm weakness? u find it ever skiping alarms? or missing meetings?

enAlarm is an alarm clock, its not for alerts on meetings and so on. I never missed an alarm with it, even if its not running in the background. It can handle a locked and sleeping hermes too without any problems.
