We found this amazing little piece of software through our friends over at BoingBoing:
HOWTO Stream from iTunes to your mobile phone (without Apple’s permission)
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.
This a good example of the law of unintended consequences. As all of our daily interactions become digital it becomes very easy to turn anything into a dumb pipe. Using your cellphone to stream music from your home computer may not be very practical for the average joe today but this is just a sign of what is yet to come.
