Name that tune:

Got hits on Blue Oyster Cult but not on Hawkwind.  ;(

*CD allows consumers to immediately learn about and buy the music that's
playing on the radio--whether its over the airwaves or the internet.

HOW WE DO IT

*CD uses a patented computer technology to monitor radio broadcasts and
identify songs as they air.

Before new music is released, a master recording is obtained from the
record companies and scanned into the system's computer -- creating a
unique digital fingerprint or "pattern" for that song.

*CD's computers monitor local radio stations every second of the day,
every day of the week -- processing the digitized broadcast and
comparing it with thousands and thousands of patterns.

Once a song is recognized, the system records the exact time, date, and
station on which it played.
