Philips and Gracenote Launch Music Recognition Service

Gracenote, the information services provider for digital music has partnered with Philips Research to launch "Gracenote Mobile", a music recognition combined with related music content delivery for the mobile phone platform, reports MarketWire via Moco News.

"One of the key advantages of Philips' waveform recognition technology is that it can identify a song using as little as three seconds of music, compared to similar technologies, which can require as long as 15 seconds to provide a match".

Rafat Ali for Moco News points out that "a similar service is offered in UK and Europe by Shazam, but you have to point the phone towards the music source for 30 seconds".
