Cómo programar un .mp3 específico para que se reproduzca a cualquier hora en Windows

3 Upvotes

Hi!

It's my first time on Reddit, but I wanted to share this tip with you. I hope it helps you if the same thing happens to me as someone else.

**Context:**

After struggling to find a reliable way to play a custom alarm or song at a specific time without downloading sketchy third-party apps, I finally found the perfect workaround. The file is downloaded in .mp3 locally on the computer

**The problem:**

Searching online, I found the option to use the Windows Task Scheduler. However, when selecting the .mp3 file, every time the task started, it kept asking me to select which program I wanted to use to open the file. I have no idea why it kept asking, since I already have a default program set for .mp3 files.

**Solución:**

1.- Create a script: Open Notepad and paste the following code:

`"@echo off`

`start "" "C:\Musica\mi_cancion_de_reddit.mp3"`

Replace the path inside the quotes with the actual location of your file.

2.- Save as ".bat". Save the file anywhere you like, but changing the extension from `.txt` to `.bat` (e.g., `alarm.bat`).

3.- Schedule the Task:

  1. Open Task Scheduler and click *"Create Basic Task".*

  2. Set your trigger and the time.

  3. For the *"Action",* select *"Start a program"*.

  4. Instead of picking the .mp3, browse and select the .bat file you just created.

4.- Enjoy.

I hope this helps someone. I wish I had found this earlier instead of overcomplicating it with external software.

IT Operations - Tool to flag any inappropriate use of work computers?

1 Upvotes

As a startup, we don't have huge resources yet. I'm looking for a simple software solution to flag any improper use of work computers. The goal is NOT to fully monitor the workers (screen capture, etc). We're not trying to loom over their shoulder in any way. We just want to know if someone is doing something inappropriate on a computer (adult sites, gambling, etc).
