Well capitalization is important. If the extension is .MP3 then you can't write .mp3.

theres a reason I like Linux/maemo so much!
in less than a day we have helped this guy acheive what would probably take months if it was using another OS - becuase he'd have to wait for an app to be made and approved!
Tablet series rocks!

actually could the script be amended to kick in the media player and autoplay a playlist or artist, instead of just playing one file? i'm gonna keep hammering away n hopefully get a hang of this, while i'm here any links to a quick learn xterm guide?

I'm quite tempted by all this cron jobbing xterminal typing to start writing some automated processes on my device now!
For example I might do a timed connection to the internet to do updates (Windows Update Style!) and reboots, that kinda thing.
Nice one for bringing this up, might come in handy one day.

Playlists should be possible, but you need mplayer (MAFW is still something I don't know much about).
Use this instead of the play-sound line.
mplayer -playlist <playlistfile>
BUT, play-sound overrides volumes, mplayer doesn't, meaning you'd have to set the volume to 100 before going to bed (unless there's a command for changing volume, but I'm not sure about that)

EDIT: Can you install the package "debianutils" to get cron?
EDIT#2: Just read this if you need cron: http://wiki.maemo.org/Fcron

For anybody interested: there is now a "mafw-play-list" command in extras-devel (I've compiled a special version of the mafw-renderer-example.c). You can use that to launch a playlist playing from the command line ("mafw-play-list nameOfMyList").
