You can create a prototype for this system with:
- Linux box
- Kannel
- GSM modem or mobile phone supported by kannel
- Analog modem with Voice capabilities
Setup kannel to accept the SMS messages. Inside the SMS message could
be the name of the song. Kannel can then relay the name of the song
and the phone number of the mobile phone to another application.
This application can call the mobile phone using the analog modem,
switch the analog modem over to voice mode and play the WAVE/MPEG3
file through the analog modem.
To see how to manipulate the analog modem with voice support, take
a look at mgetty+sendfax v1.1.x.
If you plan on expanding this to support more than a few concurrent
users, then I would suggest you replace the analog modems with a
Dialogs board.
See ya...
