I also regularly use this in ringtone. It was very helpful.

When the reminder goes off how do acknowledge I have seen the reminder without having the reminder continue to play music for 3 minutes. I tend to hit the PC mute button to kill the sound but that results in me forgetting to unmute and I miss my next meeting.
