The debut of SongLink'd
Posted by Dominic Basulto
The New York Daily News gives readers an advance preview of SongLink'd -- a new music recognition service from Manhattan-based MusiKube set to launch next Monday. According to Maki Becker, it's a "new service [that] can turn your cellphone into your own personal "Name That Tune" machine.
Say, for example, that you're shopping for new clothes at a store in midtown. A catchy tune is playing in the background -- you recognize it (kinda), but can't seem to make a positive ID. So you pull out your cellphone, dial 866-SONG-411, point the phone in the direction of the music, and within seconds, you'll get a text message with the name of the song and the artist as well as a link to a Web site where you can buy or download the song.
