...perfect solution-—wake up to the melody of your choice with their MP3 Alarm Clock. This technologically advanced timepiece connects to the USB port of your computer to download songs. You can even visit a designated website with 118 preprogrammed sounds ranging from instruments to machine-gun fire.
