I use my vista PC to play music, often using Last Fm. It would be nice to go to sleep listening to music knowing computer would shut down in a set amount of time. Is this possible?

create a simple batch file to run when you go to sleep.
Example:
@echo off
shutdown -s -t 1500
This will shutdown the computer in 1500 seconds. You can adjust the 1500 to what ever you would like. Use the -f function to force quit applications.
Let us know if you need more assistance.
You can do as tylersmiller said but instead you may decide to manually type it in the command prompt, your choice.
thank you for you nice idea and i would like you to sent me more idea
Use Vista's task scheduler (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/appcompat/aa906020.aspx ) to schedule a shutdown task.
