making the iMac start up at a specific time is a function of the energy control panel. Making iTunes launch on startup is a function of accounts/startup items.
Selecting a specific track is the only problem I see, so far.
Go to Automator, select iTunes and select "play playlist".
You may need to experiment for a while but it appears to be fairly easy.
Of course, once you have the automator task running smoothly, save it and put it as a startup item.
Hope this points you in the right direction

Hi, i'm new to your forum and wanted to know how to use mac OSX tiger's automator program to make a task that turns my imac G5 on in the morning, opens iTunes, selects a song and plays it, all functioning basically as an alarm clock. I have never used automator before, so all help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time,
Bryce
