Hi. I'm writing this post with a translator.
I'd like to have the option to choose the playback device in the alarm settings.
I use AIMP's alarm on my PC daily to wake up to music. I use two playback devices: one connected via USB to an external speaker and the other using my laptop's built-in speakers. Sometimes, AIMP is set to play on the USB device as the primary player, and my external speaker isn't even on, so I don't hear the alarm. Perhaps it would be possible to add the option to choose the alarm's playback device; I think it would be a useful feature. In my case, I would choose to always play through the laptop speakers.
What do you think? Is it feasible?
P.S.: I'm taking advantage of a great AIMP feature: shortcuts. With a script and the Windows Task Scheduler, I've configured certain keys to be pressed before the alarm goes off, allowing me to switch between the primary playback devices.

I've added the feature to AIMP6. You can find it in latest nightly build.

Thank you so much. I just installed the new version. The function I requested works perfectly, I'm very grateful for that.
I only found one bug and I'd like to let you know.
The bug occurs when I select "play playlist" in the alarm programmer menu.
It doesn't happen when I select "resume playback." It only happens when I select "play playlist." So, I just need to click "resume" and it works.
Also, when I delete an option with the "-" button, I get a "developer" notification, but it's empty. There are only "yes" and "no" buttons, but no text.
Thank you very much.

Fixed, thanks.It only happens when I select "play playlist." So, I just need to click "resume" and it works.
So, you mean that playlist was not started, and become in paused state?
