Addendum:

I just realized that I forgot to tell you if you use 'cron' or 'at' the
output of whatever command you invoke will be mailed to you. This can
get quite large for something like mplayer that updates the screen like
it does. To fix this add '>/dev/null 2>&1' to then end of your
commands. Like this...

   user at host$ at 4:30 AM
   > mplayer /path/to/some/music/file/my.mp3 >/dev/null 2>&1

And this for "cron.txt"...

30 4 * * 1-5 /command/to/exexute >/dev/null 2>&1
