New Phone Service Promises to ID Songs
Coolnat2004 writes "Ever get a song stuck in your head, but you missed the DJ announcement of the song name? That's the idea powering a new cell phone-based service called 411-SONG. Just call 866-411-SONG, and hold your phone up to the speaker. 15 seconds later the call ends and the information on your song is displayed on your phone's screen. This comes at a price, though. 99 cents for your first 5 songs, and then 99 cents a song after that. However, nbc4.com reports that a subscription model may be coming soon. Wouldn't this technology be great for fixing up all those ID3 tags?"
there is a program called MusicBrainz tagger, and you can download it and run it agains all your mp3s to tag them properly http://www.musicbrainz.org/ it uses each mp3's digital signature to do this, and works fairly well, though if most of your songs are off p2p and not ripped cds, it has more trouble due to crappy variations..
It is a bourgeoisie troll campaign
Ok now i have images of trolls with goatees drinking champagne laughing at the poor oppressed slashdot masses...
