Ask HN: What's a good way to wake up to my own music?

1 pointsby antithesisover 7 years ago
I want to wake up to my own music, but I&#x27;m not content with any of the solutions for Android. None of the music alarm apps have worked consistently for me, and I&#x27;m tired with fiddling with it. I want something more reliable, preferably with the appropriate software built into the firmware. I also don&#x27;t like touch screens.<p>Here&#x27;s what I&#x27;m looking for:<p>- An alarm clock feature with RTC wake, to save battery life<p>- Built-in speakers, preferably with good sound quality as well<p>- The ability to wake up to an entire album, either through playlist or FLAC support<p>- Reliability. So I probably want the alarm clock to be a native app, not a third-party one<p>- Nice controls. A click wheel would be perfect, but buttons are also fine,<p>I know I can connect the device to external speakers, but I don&#x27;t want to miss an alarm when it isn&#x27;t. That&#x27;s why I want it to have built-in speakers as well.<p>Newer phones have touch screens and no RTC wake, PMPs generally don&#x27;t have speakers, so I&#x27;m mostly looking at older feature phones like BlackBerries and Nokias. However, I don&#x27;t know of any ones that will let me wake up to an entire album. Does anyone know of a good solution?
