I would love to see a developer make a program or a database that would allow Palm OS5 users to have polyphonic alarms. Even better would be mp3 files like windows mobile alarm programs. I'm not sure if it's possible, but I wouldn't know because I'm not a programmer. Could someone fill me in on the feasibility of such a task? When I had a Sony Clie I loved the rich midi songs to wake up to, but so far nothing on the Palm front other than short .wav files. I know Sony has a dedicated media chip in their devices, but if Palms can play mp3's and Astraware makes music pdb's for their games, I'm sure something is possible.

Not the same as the sounds I had in my NR but certainly better than the built-in ones. Maybe those will tide you over until somebody comes up with something better. There is a program out there to play wav files but everything I've read says it doesn't work too good. __________________ Just because you can, doesn't mean you do.

I know for the Clie there is an app that allows you to play any wav file. I'm sure there is one for Palm too. __________________ "Stealing! How could you?

Have you tried one?

What's the 'best' app for this purpose?

(Or at least there wasn't anything the last time I looked last week.) This has to do with the fact that the Palms don't have that separate chip for sounds and because the developer community for Palm-specific apps is not as active as the one for Sony. __________________ Just because you can, doesn't mean you do.
