Gentimer...works great! Well worth the $15.

Actually, I just changed the alarm sound. Threw this MP3 on my card, and edited the alarm link to this one.

Here's what I wake up to every morning (sabers.mp3). "Right Click" and "Save As"

Yes, I'm a Star Wars fan.

Are you talking about the Q9m? Mine is a regular actually cool sounding alarm - plays for a long time (I've always had to shut it off before it stops) - is plenty loud - I press the 'stop' soft key to stop it - all stock.

I agree, changed my alarm sound to an obnoxious sound and make sure the volume is all the way.

Works for me!

i just tried the WakeUp sound as the alarm, yes it's loud enough. but it only goes for about 15 seconds and never starts again...I can't wake up in 15 seconds lol. And yes I'm talking about the Q9M.

I uploaded my songs to my 9m & choose varying clips for my alarm. that works great for me because they are as obnoxious ass I want & run for at least 3 solid minutes. then my reminder is on so if I happen to just hit any button othr than "dismidd", another obnoxious sound gos off a minute or so later. I love it!
