Just Googling around didn't help much with this issue...
I'm looking for a fairly good quality and loud alarm speaker/siren that will allow me to program it with my own mp3 files. I know I can jerry-rig a cheap MP3 player to an amp, but I'm kind of looking for a simple, all-in-one solution Does anything like this exist as a commercial product?

True. Just wanted him to be aware that it uses .wav files and not MP3.
Thanks! Looks good. I can handle conversion - no problem.

Follow up - I forgot to say - I want to use a German Klaxon Siren (AAAOOOGAAAHHH) to scare the burglars and make a distinctive impression on the neighbors. :>

This thing is kind of flakey on .wav files. It handles .wav and recorded files differently. Sometimes it is easier to play the .wav file speaker to mic and record it rather than try to load it. As I recall there were some power issues too. You might want to be certain that this thng can "play" the alarm tune on backup battery without AC power.
I suspect you're going to be Mr. Popular with your neighbors after the first false pop. Hope there arn't too many close by.
