Hi Butch, Yes, well, Winamp would have to be open in order to be playing. Also, I assume you were running Windows 10? If so, I could probably look for a free or relatively inexpensive timer app which would do the trick. If you don’t care about the interface, I could probably write a batch file with a command line audio player playing the files I mentioned. It’s really up to your personal preference.
