    crontab

    Well, I was trying to do the similar yesterday, but somehow it didn't worked out. Just for checking, I wanted to play all the mp3s in a specific folder at 10.15 p.m , so what I did is:

    I did crontab -e and added this line:
    15 22 * * * audacious ~/im/music/ipod/ *.mp3

    But it didn't work. Any suggestion?

    15 22 * * * user audacious ~/im/music/ipod/*.mp3

    crontab probably was going to "/root" folder, because you didn't specified the user
    better is to put all the path: /home/user/im/music/ipod/*.mp3

    I think you need the full path of your audacious executable. I assume you did crontab -e as user not sudo.
