Has a CD Alarm Clock been invented? If not, I claim the patent!

[KnickNut3]

Hello. I recently realized how much the song I wake up to on the alarm clock can affect my day, or at least the first two hours. If it's an upbeat, new song that I really like, I wake up refreshed, happy, and ready to start the day. If it's a boring, played out song (especially on a Monday), I feel like flattening the alarm clock under a steamroller, then rolling over myself.

In order to control the song that wakes you up, is there any kind of CD-player alarm clock? Something compact and simple, but will play either a set song or a random one from a list you set? Perhaps MP3 compatibilities?

If this has yet to be invented, this thread will be used in a court of law by me to claim ownership to this patent and royalties to all resulting revenue. Thank you.

Use the Winamp alarm clock plugin if your computer is in your room. It's just as good I would think.

And I've seen tons of CD player/alarm clocks.

I cant believe no one has evar thought of this.

You live in a small burrow on the dark side of a mountain, don't you?

I bought one with my graduation money in 1992! I used it in college, and woke up to the same song every morning. Sorry, you're a dollar short, and 10 years too late.

Well, apparently so do SWirth, Aves, Mattco, and every person I've asked in real life...





Unless they were being horribly sarcastic, but I doubt it.

Thanks for the link...

OK here's my idea... MP3 capabilities! ha! And you can set a list of songs from which it will pick one for you to randomly awake with! ha!

With the ones in existance (far inferior to the one's I've conjured up in my head, of course), can you pick a specific track, etc.?

CD alarm player clocks are stupid. The real poo is a projection atomic alarm clock. If I wake up early, I don't have to move to see what time it is, I just open my eyes and look at the ceiling.

Wouldn't that light up the room, though? The one I have now I have to cover up because it's too bright as it is... heh

Mine doesn't provide any ambient light at all, maybe it's the type of ceiling I have. It's not smooth, it's very rough texture. Or maybe I have thick eyelids.

I've had one since '97, sorry you're too late

Mine was a christmas gift my dad got on a business trip, so I don't know where he got it. They have 'em in the sharper image catalog though. Depending on how expensive they are, there's a $20 off $60 coupon floating around out there.

Real nice. You could have at least given me a wink or something. It's not like they're on sale on TV every week.

And I'm still content in the fact that none of the 15 people I asked (and don't go criticizing them, now) had seen one before.

Has anyone ever gotten something from Sharper Image that DIDN'T break within a week? I think I'm 0 for 5, so I'm not getting anything from there for the rest of my life.

I found the projection clocks here.
