Normally, the default Android alarm will just play a standard ringing noise to help you wake up in the morning. But you can change this to any song you want using an app on your Android.

Edit Steps1Hit the "Apps" button in Android.

2Select "Alarm & Timer."

3Select any of your alarms that are already listed in the main screen. You can also add a new one with the "Add Alarm" button at the top.

4Click on the "Sound" option in the "Set Alarm" screen. It will say underneath what the current alarm sound is.

5Select "Music" from the sound menu screen when it appears.

6Click on a music track you want, and then click on the button at the bottom of the screen to add it. "Click "OK" to confirm the alarm. It should come up text telling you how long until the alarm goes off. Done!

Edit TipsIf you would like to play the song partway through, download an application called RingDroid. It will allow you to trim an Audio File.Try to use songs that are good for waking up, like rock or metal. Lullabies aren't likely to help you wake up in the morning.

Edit WarningsYou can only use songs that you've already downloaded on to your Android, so make sure you do that ahead of time.Make sure you check the box next to your alarm time to make it active.
