Dial MP3 : Skype Goes Lyrical

22 Jun 2005

DialMP3 allows you to listen to any mp3 in your collection on your phone, wherever you are, as long as you can send an Email (most mobile phone companies allow you to send SMS’s to email addresses)

SETUP :

  1. Install Skype
  2. Install Virtual Audio Cable.
  3. Go to Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Device -> Audio
  4. Change the Default Device for Sound Playback to ‘Virtual Cable 1 Out’
  5. Change the Default Device for Sound Recording to ‘Virtual Cable 1 In’
  6. Run the DialMP3setup.msi file and complete the installation.
  7. Using notepad or other text editor, edit C:\Program Files\Voxu\DialMP3\DialMP3.exe.config file.
  8. Edit the POP3server, POP3username, and POP3password keys with the account information you wish to use.
  9. Run DialMP3 (In your start menu, under the DialMP3 folder)
  10. The first time you use it, Skype will warn you that “Another program wants to use Skype.” Select “Allow this Program to use Skype” and click Ok.

USE :

Send an email to the mailbox that you configured in step 8 above, with one line in the body: DialMP3:+1212555555 Song Name

Replace 1212555555 with your phone number, with the country code and area code included.
Song Name can be any song in your Windows Media Player Library, use the name that shows up under “Title” in the library.

You can also requests songs by Artist, Album, or Genre:

DialMP3:+1212555555 Artist:Guns & Roses
