CronEdit v1.1

CronEdit is used to edit the somewhat cryptic crontab.txt file that is used
by xBar. This allows you to set up recurring tasks. The most popular use for this
is for an alarm clock, but let your imagination run wild.

This is how to change the assigned launch key of xbar:

Save the xmc file in your \Storage\Program Files\xbar2\xmacro\ folder. Store your MP3 file inside your \Storage Card\MP3\ folder.
Then edit your crontab.txt file to include the xmc file you just saved and set the time you want it to play
