Is there a good alarm app that will start playing selections from a playlist at the scheduled alarm time?

Alarm Clock Plus V2. Its free in the app market. Let's you set a song or a playlist, plus it has a ton of other options. Its really a killer app.
Update: I still have the free ad supported version Alarm Clock Plus installed on my phone but it looks like it's gone from the market. The only one left is the paid, ad-free version.
Gentle Alarm. Seems a little complex at first with profiles and alarms, but it rocks. The best feature is the one that allows you to skip alarms set to go off without actually turning off a configured alarm. I use that feature all the time. You have to pay for it, but its worth it.
There was a comment about the concern of Gentle Alarm's Internet usage, below is what I found on the dev's forum:
I need internet access to allow users to send me information if they choose so. Unfortunately, there are no conditional permissions. So even if you always decide not to send me any information when a crash happens, I still need the permission.
There are two more reasons for Internet permission:
If you paid via Paypal, you have to enter a key to unlock the app. This key is checked at some point when you are online every 3 months.
And for market users such as system is coming. Google recently added a licensing scheme as a minor step against piracy and you will start seeing this used in more and more apps. The app needs to call Google servers to check if the license is valid. Results are cached so that the app also works if online for extended periods of time.
The latter two reasons are unfortunate. But for every legal copy I sell, there are more than 3 illegal ones out there. There are even some people who bundle apps and sell them at a discount. Piracy has gone out of hand and if developers don't earn money with their apps, there will be fewer quality apps in the future.
I will gladly discuss any concerns you may have.
Tone Picker (AppBrain link) will allow you to use sound files for ringtones, notifications, or alarm sounds.
I use the standard Alarm clock on my HTC Incredible (not sure if it's stock Android, or Sense), but I've got MP3s for some of the alrams. Same too for some of the rings.
UPDATE: re-read the OP. Not from a playlist.
Good Morning will let you "shuffle from a directory" of your choice. The app is free. It will also announce the day's date and forecast for the day, as well as assign the alarm to specific days of the week.
