Need Program to Close Player After a Period Time

I like to listen to music when I goto sleep. However, I do not want the music to play the entire night, because it interferes with my sleep. If I turn on a streaming internet station the music will play all night. I need some kind of program that will close my music software after a set period of time.

You could probably rig your computer with a scheduled task, to run for a media player or stream program for a duration before closing it, In fact you could rig it to do that and defrag your harddrive when you want the music to stop.

If you want to get your system to shutdown from timing, then that will require manipulating the standby options of your system to logoff and close down after a period of idleness.

Otherwise the other option is to wait to see if somebody has the programmed remedy you seek.

Hmm, maybe you could use closeapp from http://noeld.com/programs.asp?cat=misc (scroll down) and run it in a batch file using M2 Launcher from http://msquaredtechnologies.com/m2_products.html

you could do it with a windows script and some sendkeys commands.

maybe one of those mouse macro recorders would do it.

hell in the script you could probably do it right and take full control of your application if you knew how to find the commands for it. you should be able to use the windows api to take the running program as an object and use an object.close or something like that.
