This is a new iPhone app that listens to music through the microphone, sends it to the cloud, and all within about fifteen seconds, it can identify the song, and can let you tag it, buy it through iTunes, or a few other things. The quality is amazing though; this is easily the most impressive thing I’ve seen in months. I can’t get over just how well it works! ---

got 2.0 on my ipod touch. Been installing apps from store, pretty sweet stuff for free… the remote one is freakin awesome! [Gizmodo.com](http://Gizmodo.com) posted the top 10 apps at that current time that are worthy of a download.

Midomi seems somewhat cooler, simply because you can hum or sing the song 🙂 ---

Apple sure knows how to continuously gouge people for money. $10 bucks for the software upgrade plus, that’s BS. ---

True, but it really is no surprise — we already knew that the iPhone was handled as subscription billing while the iPod Touch was not. ---

Apparently, I just learned about this, but Apple by law has to charge for those upgrades or something relating to software laws where you can’t “sell” software until its done…which it never is since they always release updates to it. I don’t know the exact details, but I can find out lol… The technology laws in the country are quite archaic. > [@TheCanadian;2357775](#): > > Apple sure knows how to continuously gouge people for money. $10 bucks for the software upgrade plus, that’s BS. ---

^ not sure about that, because then how can windows release service pack updates for free which at times have new features. ---

Yeah i doubt the government would care if a company would want to send out free updates to their users…unless they’re windows users. ---

There are a lot of results if you Google “iPod Touch subscription.” Just skimming, this [Macworld article](http://www.macworld.com/article/131991/2008/02/ipodtouch.html) seems to cover the issues pretty well. [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/shazam/265769.md?page=2)
