DittyBot is a script for OS X that uses a clever combination of mobile email and VoIP to stream music from your iTunes collection to your cellphone. Using your phone, email the title/artist info for a song in your iTunes library to DittyBot, which is running on your Mac, pulling down mail every minute. DittyBot receives the request, calls you with Skype, and plays the song back to you over voice-over-IP using iTunes. Wow.
You send a text message from your mobile phone to your POP email account. Your text message should contain the keywords of a song title (and possibly an artist name) that you want to hear. DittyBot finds that email (he checks Mail every 45 seconds) and copies the song name into a text file. The song name is then copied into iTunes and a playlist is created from your search. Next, DittyBot loads Skype (the internet telephony app) and begins calling your mobile phone. Your mobile phone rings and when you pick it up, you should hear your song start playing in all its compressed glory. DittyBot will play your selection to you over your phone until you hang up. Mind you, this all should happen within 1 minute of sending your song request (depending on the speed of your POP server). Sometimes it's even quicker!

No what happens is the computer calls you through skype and plays it on the phone.
Only thing you pay for is the text message. And internet at home. |

it could be, if you have voIP from your phone to another device, but in this case, its voice over IP on the computer to your phone. So the connection is essentially from the computer.

OK I dont have automator cause Im not on Tiger, so can anyone with tiger edit the Workflow file for me?
Jools?
EDIT 1: Edited it thru text. Hoping itll work.
EDIT 2: Also:-
To send a song request you’ll have to compose a text message from your cell phone and make the recipient an email address instead of a cell phone number. I send song request text messages from my cell phone to my plasticbugs.com email address. Almost any phone with text messaging capabilities can do this.
Can SE phones do it too, not sure about it. I think Emailing through gprs is the only way.
EDIT 3: -
Doesnt work for panther, because theres no Automator right, anyway to get automator for panther not Quickeys.
