So this is somewhat magical, at least until I find out how they do it ( Read more... )

random silliness, iphone, geekiness, music, nerd stuff, gadgets

Sadly it doesn't seem to know anything classical...
Then I needn't bother with it, I'm afraid.

Something similar is available on some of the Sony Ericsson phones.

There's a database of music samples (Gracenote, I think) which grew out of an open source project (CCDB?) that it hits to determine what the music is. This is the same database that some of the CD rippers hit to figure out the info.

Hmm, if it doesn't know any classical, maybe Shazam is using a different database.

Dang, now I need a iphone so I can ID the songs on a mix CD someone gave me, which I lost the track list for.

I think it works on some other phones too. Or, of course, you could just borrow someone with an iPhone. (-:

oooooorrrrrr... you could use this as an excuse to get your own. Silly me, didn't think of that one!
