Hi Chris, You might like to look at xmms-alarm. If you are using kde, and have already installed noatun, you might like to install it's wakeup plugin which should activate if you like to listen to music all day. Both programs are really simple alarm systems.
Alternatively, you can just create a simple cron job that runs at the time you want, and emit a series of beeps or something. Last and not least, you can probably store your appointments in a calendar based client like evolution or korganizer, and have these programs start mpg123 or xmms or play some wav file at the time you want the alarm to sound.
