[plug] cron

Just sitting here trying to get xmms to play at 6 in the morning as an
alarm clock. I thought I'd try cron but the following command :
0 6 * * 1-4 /usr/bin/xmms play /mnt/mp3
doesnt seem to do much. If I type /usr/bin/xmms play /mnt/mp3 in bash,
xmms pops up, loads all the mp3's in the /mnt/mp3 directory and plays
them. Whats the difference with doing this same command through cron?


TIA
