Try this to start, then turn into a service with FireDaemon, 
http://www.firedaemon.com/.  You'll need to fill in the quit() function, and 
the particulars for your media player.

from time import mktime, strftime, strptime, localtime, time, sleep

# return true if the program should exit
def quit():
   pass

import subprocess
def launch():
   args = ( 'c:\\pathto\\cmd', 'http://www.kuow.org/real.ram' )
   subprocess.call(args)

# get the seconds since epoch of midnight, add the desired time of day,
# and convert back into seconds since epoch. We'll wake up just a bit
# early, so we can use a coarser timer.

event_time = mktime(strptime(strftime('%Y%m%d',
   localtime(time()))+'19:59:40','%Y%m%d%H:%M:%S'))

while True:
   while time()<event_time and not quit():
      sleep(5)

   if quit():
      break

   launch()
