I had to do something similar for my app...what I did was use the Alarm Manager based on these examples:
http://www.androidcompetencycenter.com/2009/02/android-basics-alarm-service/ http://www.epochconverter.com/ I only had two files (in my case they were live streams) for my user to choose from using the radio button widget. My alarm manager launched an Activity where by using a public static variable I was able to determine which stream was chosen and use the MediaPlayer to play one of those files. Hope this helps...I had trouble with this as well at first. One thing to keep in mind when you're looking into the Alarm Manager is that the time the alarm will go off is based on an offset to the current system time which is in milliseconds...the second link above will show you how to convert to epoch time. Basically what I did was convert the time the alarm is supposed to go off into epoch time...took the difference from the current system time (which is also in epoch format) and then used the difference as my offset.
