Atlanta - Wireless network operator Cingular on Monday introduced a new version of its mobile music identification service, which lets users find out what songs are playing from the radio, TV, CD or other external source via text-messaging or a downloaded Java application. The text-messaging version of the MusicID service costs 99 cents per song identified, while the Java version of MusicID, available for $6.99 per month, allows unlimited song identifications directly through the phone. Using the Java application, currently available only for the Nokia 6682, song matches will bring up album cover art as well as song and artist names, in addition to similar song recommendations. Cingular's MusicID service is powered by technology from London-based Shazam Entertainment.
