Selecting the alarm music or sound

On the Select the alarm music or sound page, you can select the music or sound that you want Windows Media Player to play when the scheduled alarm occurs. You can also choose not to play any music or sound and simply receive an alarm notification on your desktop at the scheduled time.

To select the alarm music or sound

  1. In View Media Library by, click the way you want your music sorted. You can sort your music by Artist, Album, Genre, My Playlists, Auto Playlists, or Other Options.

    If you want to play a sound, a specific audio file on your computer, a random music selection from Media Library, music from a CD, or no music or sound at all, click Other Options.

  2. Click the music or sound that you want to use from the list displayed below View Media Library by.

    If you want no music or sound to play, click Play no audio. If you click Play default alarm sound, the alarm will play the default alarm sound specified in the Alarm Clock Options dialog box.

  3. To test the alarm and hear how your music selection sounds, click Preview.

    If you want to adjust the volume of the alarm that you are testing, click Volume. The Windows Master Out dialog box appears, and you can move the volume sliders to adjust the alarm volume.

  4. Click Next.

    If you want to return to the previous page, click Back.
