I don‚Äôt really understand how this works, I mean where the songs are recorded?
Probably not at the handset, due to technical and compatibility problems. The file will be huge, and you would need only 3G networks and handsets.
I guess they call an IVR and the song is recorded on the server, or something like that.
It would be great to have more info on that.
