So I'm teaching myself Visual Basic and I've create an Alarm Clock for my desktop.
I will use this myself, what you do is enter the time and a URL to a music site/sound file and leave it running.
Features:
- Type the exact time you want.
- Have it open a URL to a radio player/audio file/YouTube video
- Current Time display.
- Wake Up! Message box with Bleep.
For example, I leave this on overnight with my screen turned off and have it open in the morning, set to open BBC Radio 1 and play over my speakers as my alarm

It's my first program ever so don't flame too much. if you want to see the source then message me.
Looks nice. You should include the ability to load sounds from your desktop, instead of using an online link. What if you don't have internet?

You still can. Just include the full URL of the file on your computer.
e.g.
Code:
file:///C:/Users/Sam/Desktop/Music.mp3
Good idea you good there can't believe I didn't think about that
I've allways wanted something like this and I've used several PHPs version that just fail.
I made it for myself more than anything.
I made an Alarm Clock years ago. Pretty neat app to start off with. You should allow users to choose songs from their computer to use for the alarm.
If you want another really funny project for starters you should try making a text editor I really had fun coding that and I developed it in to be a program to make forum threads fast
I created an alarm clock with sounds and taskbar notification popups, I was going to ask you why you decided to play a sound off the internet. But I guess you could load one from your hard drive too...

Nah do, it's pretty good...
I still actually haven't finished it though, I don't think VB will ever make some of it's search functions as good as C++ would have because of certain memory limits, but I should get back to working on it. I have a couple good ideas for it.
Fragma you quotted King though my friend lol
