CNET Editors' review
True to its name, this alarm clock keeps you on schedule by playing your favorite audio files. Music AlarmClock has a straightforward, modern interface with easily navigable buttons for setting your alarms and managing your audio playlists. You can set as many alarms as you like, running them once, daily, or on a specific date or day of the week. Program settings include the ability to repeat and shuffle the playlist, customize the interface, and fade in alarm music. We like the built-in media player, which includes a default beep, and allows you to easily add and remove MP3, WAV, and WMA audio files. The player also displays the title as each song is played. While the application includes a five-minute snooze, we wish it included a text message as the alarm plays. Anyone who wants a musical wake-up call will appreciate this freeware.

"Fun, Cute, & Customizable Little Alarm Clock !"
Version: Music AlarmClock 2.1.0
Pros
great alarm clock.. does just what you want it to do! several different options to choose the type of alarm you'd like! another great feature is the ability to create a playlist!
Cons
every once & a while an error message will pop up saying that the mp3 couldn't be found. i know the file wasn't deleted & the next day it will work. just must be a bug. however this can be quite detrimental because the alarm will not go off!
Summary
great little alarm clock for freeware =) gotta be careful about the bugs though.. caused me to miss a few classes =P

"Very nice app."
Version: Music AlarmClock 2.1.0
Pros
Much better than others I have use. (Last use: Talking Alarm Clock)
Its very simple and easy to add alarms, unlike others where your never sure if you got it right. The interface is a major plus for me! ^^Cons
Only really big minus is the inability to edit alarms. But I do wish the thing came with a color picker for the customize. ^^
Oh, and it hasn't been updated in like, a year. :/ -
"My new favorite PC alarm clock"
Version: Music AlarmClock 2.1.0
Pros
I've had no problems at all with it after been using it a couple of weeks now. It's got everything I need in an alarm clock and after trying ALL of the others, even some that were supposedly the best, this one is by far the better pc alarm clock. I love that you can customize the look to your liking. And the built in playlist is definitely a perk.
Cons
Only one drawback, although it won't take away any stars from my rating; It would be nice to be able to edit your existing alarms. Such as changing the time and naming the alarm.
My only suggestion for a future release would be the ability to give each alarm it's very own playlist. After that, Music AlarmClock would be perfect, and should come standard with all computers.

"Good Alarm clock"
Version: Music AlarmClock 2.1.0
Pros
very customizable and you can minimize it to your tray

"The only one I found for free that works great"

"Nice little program..."
Version: Music AlarmClock 2.1.0
Pros
I like the playlist support, though I had to get another program to create M3U's from iTunes (but that's an entirely separate issue...).
Cons
Well, I tried it for a night, but the alarm did not in fact go off. I'm sure I did something wrong, though, so not too big a deal. It would be nice to be able to change the appearance of the time and date displayed, or set it to the system format, but no other issues.
