MusiKube Tries To Ring Up Impulse Buys
Musikube's music recognition technology, similar to Shazam's, accessible from any mobile phone, will appear in beta version in November, reports Wireless Week.
"The Mobile Music Identification (MMID) solution is designed to give mobile phone owners answers to those burning questions like, 'What's the name of this song?' and 'Who sings this?' By dialing a toll-free number and holding their wireless phone near the music for 15 seconds, MusiKube's Media Platform and patent-pending fingerprinting technology will identify the song, artist, album, etc. MusiKube then sends a text message to the wireless handset. Users will have access to MusiKube's Web site to order songs, and other related musical products, such as ringtones."
