There are a lot of gadgets in the world today wherein you can customize the alarm according to the options available. Leading the cast of gadgets are mobile phones which normally make use of the available ringtones that they have. But now, there are actual alarm clocks that can be customized to serve as alternative ringing alarm clocks.

These MP3 clocks are loaded with features that you can customize down to the minute. You can add any sound, song, or voice that you like; schedule it for any date and time; and even arrange your wake-up tunes for months in advance. Most all of these programs accept multiple formats such as WMAs, WAVs, MPEGs, and AVI videos, in addition to MP3s.

Other features include a gentle wake-up option that gradually increases the volume; a weekend sleeper (for snoozing in on holidays and weekends); a sleep and slumber option for nighttime lullabies; lots of special effects such as fade in/out, etc.; an automatic computer shut down; and more.
