I'm looking for a freeware application that I can set times for an alarm to go off. I've seen some alarm clock applications that will allow me to play a selected audio file such as WAV, MP3, MID, etc., but has a setting for just one time for the alarm to ring. I need a program that will allow me to set multiple times for the alarm to go off daily. Does anyone know of any programs like this?

Thanks! :)

If I'm not mistaken Outlook does this with Appointments...allowing you to remind yourself of an event, etc with several "ringing" options, at whatever time of the day, and recurring whenever u want.

Don't remember if Outlook was an option for you or not...I'll check the net for some apps.

Thanks, MDS! :)

It appears that finding an alarm software with multiple time settings per day is quite rare. I tries many different ones from Cnet and none of them had multiple alarm setting features. :(

http://www.bitrix.ru/logmon/eng/ Log Monitor serves me since ages anything to be scheduled:)
I usually have it to launch Batch files, but you can use it start anything. Define a task and play around with its properties tabs, nearly unlimited scheduling options.

Thank you, Herb.

So will this program enable me to make multiple Alarm schedules? This is for a friend who runs an academy and he wants to schedule sound files to play over an intercom to let students know of class start and ending. This program will serve as a school bell.

It should do it just fine with unlimited number of actions:)
The main scheduler calculates agains intervals, but there is also a tab where you can limit these executions for dedicated workours on dedicated workdays. So I don't see a problem to accomplish that task.
