This is year 6 or maybe 7........ any way I have been away from the forum for a bit. I would really appreciate some advice on the most efficient way to have a CD player come on at 5:00 am and repeat over and over. Is there a model that will do this and that I can rig to external speakers on my T14'S. I can leave the CD player in either house or barn and run speaker wire out. Brand and model would be much appreciated.

I can't say if this is the best plan, but you could do like I did and use an old PC. I copied the CD to the harddrive of an old PC and wrote a little autoexec script file to boot the system and play the file over and over. I hooked the PC up to a timer that turns it on early in the morning and shuts off after dark. One thing you will need to remember is that PC sound cards do not have good amplification so you will need to use internally amplified PC speakers to get any appreciable volume.

thanks Jeff for the info. I just gave away an old PC. I'll have to watch for another.
