It was mentioned on www.macintouch.com today. In theory, you can have your computer listen to a radio station or other audible music source and identify the songs. The software connects via an internet to a server that stores sonic "fingerprints" of recordings and can identify the recording by "listening" to it. I haven't tried the demo for it, but my mind is searching for the possibilities. Seems like it would be very useful if you wanted to log songs a radio station played for the day. Seems like maybe performing rights organizations could use this? They also claim you can make your own "fingerprint" files and upload to their sever, thus adding to the songs it can recognize. In theory, an independent artist could fingerprint the songs off their own CD, and probably set up the software to monitor a normal radio station via audio input or mic, or route a streaming internet station to it and monitor how many plays their song might get. Cool.
