AT&T Wireless Announces Music ID Service

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the hum-me-a-few-bars dept.

mindless4210 writes "AT&T Wireless announced today the release of their new Music ID Service from Musicphone. AT&T customers can identify songs by dialing '#ID' and holding their phones next to the music source. Daily Wireless did a full review of the new service, testing it in several environments against different genres of music. Now you can finally figure out the name of that song on the radio that you've been dying to know!"

    The classic rock radio stations play the same ten songs repeatedly and I know all those too well.

    The pop stations tend to choose one mildly catchy tune to overplay every week, which they identify immediately before and after they play it (about 20 times daily). The rest is pure crap.

    I guess the modern rock radio stations play different songs, but they all sound the same... loud guitars, screaming lyrics.

    Country music - I won't go there.

    It's an excellent idea but there's no market for it!

    See Xplane. They make those product tours. They're pretty brilliant.
