That's the notion behind the MP3 O'Clock. The electronic time-piece, being marketed by Internet music firm ArtistDirect, will allow owners to download digital audio clips to serve as wake-up calls, from their CD collections and hard-drives as well as custom recordings available via a special Web site. Dave Grohl, Mandy Moore, and members of Metallica, Backstreet Boys and Spinal Tap are among those contributing musical or spoken bits, including birthday and seasonal messages, with new ones added monthly. Pre-orders for the clocks will be taken starting Monday, with April 2 the official on-sale date. Comment on this item. Next Item: SOMH to be featured on Now 6 Prev Item: The Kevin and Erin show
