App to temporarily turn off sound?

Has it ever happened to you that you miss reminders and alarms because you turned off the sound for a meeting, and then forgot to turn it on again afterwards?

Well that happens to me too darn much. I wonder if anyone's heard about an app that lets my PPC shut up for a predefined period of time. That way I can tell it to shut up for an hour or 90 minutes, and I don't have to think about turning the sound back on after the meeting.

I'll fix that csc12345678.

I thought it was called meeting minder but MeetingMute seems to be a one of a kind app. How much does it cost joedoe101?

I've used MeetingMute and it works well. I'm looking for something that will allow me to mute the volume for a specified period of time every day. For example if I want to listen to music at night and want the volume muted at 11pm and then un-mute at 5:30am. MeetingMute can do this but it requires setting up a recurring appointment in Outlook which works if I can't find something different. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. I've searched this site and Google and found a few music players (TodayPlayer, GSPlayer, PocketPlayer, BetaPlayer) which all say they have sleep timers. However the internet music site I am connecting to has a file extension of .asf and none of these seem to be able to play it. Thanks

That's a good price but you're talking about streaming from internet sites so you need something to keep your connection active. There's a freeware app called KeepAwake(?),( maybe alive) that in conjunction with MeetingMute that should fix you right up. :)

SuperAlert lets you set which reminders will sound even if the system is muted.
http://www.pocketfillers.com

Your device will wake-up, un-mute, sound the alarm and then re-mute.

Clock, calendar, task, and 3rd-party alarms are all independantly adjustable.
