Can we auto switch off/ auto switch on the pc in xp?

A friend has asked me whether he can use PC as an alarm clock/
auto off? He is on xp.

He wants his pc to boot up all by itself at, say, 6 AM and start
playing some song as alarm.

He wants his pc to continue playing some songs while he falls
asleep in the night, and then, the pc should shut down by
itself, say, at 11:30 PM.

Well. People have peculiar expectations.

His logic is simple. His TV can do it, his dec can do it, so why
not his computer?

I am not aware whether it can be done. If anyone knows, please
guide me, even if some utilities are required.

Thanks.
