Maybe someone has an idea where I can get the gadget I describe here. 
Perhaps it doesn't exist. I do a lot of support of our small local 
science museum. I would like the museum to sponsor Star Date. You may 
have heard of it. It's a daily one minute broadcast on many radio 
stations of a relevant astronomy event to the date--eclipse, comet, 
asteroid collision(!), etc. It would be very good if a gadget like a 
phone answering machine exists that will play a CD of this program 
daily. We can purchase a monthly subscription of CDs from the University 
of Texas (the sponsor of Star Date) that have the daily programs.

The trick here is to have a phone at the museum which has the daily 
broadcast on it. It would be good if a gadget/device exists that queues 
up the next 1 minute program each day from the CD for a month and plays 
it whenever someone calls the phone that day. It may be that a PC/Apple 
plus such a gadget is required. I checked on this about 3 years ago, but 
no such device exists. Anyone aware of such a device coming on to the 
market with all the new gadgets hitting the market?
