AT&T Wireless has announced a new service that helps you identify songs with your cellphone. After dialing '#ID' and playing the phone close to the music source for 15 seconds, customers will receive a text message with the name and artist of the song. Using the Musicphone database of over one million songs, the service will cost $.99 per use, plus air time. So what's better: paying a buck to know what song you're listening to, or rummaging through iTunes until you can find the song and buy it?

There is something like that over here in the UK. Its called Shazam and you call 2580, place your phone next to the speaker and it sends you a text message of what the song is. I think its about 50P per message. Works a treat for when you're in a club and want to know a song.
