After reading the article on Habrahabr about a
good alarm clock , I decided to try it for myself, and indeed, waking up with it is much nicer.
The basic principle is expressed in three theses:
- the sound of the alarm should increase smoothly
- To wake up to music is better than to simple sounds.
- Well, if the melody is always different.
As a result, the author of the post wrote an application on a flash, which takes at random mp3 files from the folder and at certain times loses them.
Everything is fine, except that the speed with which the sound grows cannot be adjusted.
I wrote to the author, waited, and decided to do something similar myself.
The script is written in
Python and run from the command line (eventually you need to add a program with certain parameters to the Windows Task Scheduler).
To run, you need to install the immediate
Python language ,
Python for Windows extensions, and put the
Winamp.py library into the Lib folder, located in the Python installation directory. This library was written by
Arkadiusz Wahlig .

The alarm script is located
here , and runs as follows:
goodalarm.py --mp3path="__MP3_" --timegrowing="____"

Easy lift! .)
