Scheduling Ubuntu to "Wake Up"

[Daniel Pevny]

Thanks Bill, I'll try it out the next time I get access to Ubuntu  
(typing from my Macbook, which inspired me to try Ubuntu on my PC).   
Anyway, why do you suggest a non-graphical music player?  Do  
graphical ones require a login?  What specific music player would you  
suggest and why?
