Abstract
A media service server provides media content to users over telephone networks. The media content server receives a request for media items, where the request is a call placed by a phone. The media content server identifies a user associated with the request, and establishes an audio communication channel with the phone. The media content server selects a media item for the user based on an identity of the user, and provides the media item to the user by playing content of the media item to the user over the audio communication channel.
