Fido Names That Tune

splash.gif Fido today announced its launch of Name That Tune, a music recognition service that allows customers to identify almost any song as soon as they hear it, whether they are in a bar, listening to the radio or at home watching TV.

All customers have to do is call #DJ from their Fido and hold the handset up to the music source for approximately 30 seconds. The service will automatically hang up and then send a text message with the name of the artist and title of the song. [ company press release ]

Other music recognition services:

-- Asia's First Mobile Music Recognition Service

-- Shazam in the UK and Europe

-- Gracenote's service with Philips, in U.S.
