Um software que reconhece música apaga a publicidade

«Does the idea of being able to by-pass radio advertising and DJ-chatter appeal to you? That's what Sweden's PopCatcher MusicDock is offering. "Simply tune in to any radio station of your choice," it says. "The PopCatcher MusicDock MD-601 recognizes any music category and captures the separate songs automatically, free of charge and legally.  "The songs are saved on the mp3 player as 192 kbps MP3 files. The MP3 files are easily dropped onto a computer, an iPod or a mobile phone." Interesting, with the likes of Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and all the others going blind trying to figure out ways to force us to watch and/or listen to their brainless ad-babble. Do ads really make people buy? Or have manufacturers and retailers been connned into believing they do? Meanwhile, PopCatcher doesn't say how much this unit will cost, or when it'll be available. The online blurb doesn't list the price, but in a Reader's Write, "I'd just like to add that this product already is for sale in Sweden, for 1199 SEK ($170)," says Magnus Nilsson. Meanwhile, the patented technology will also be available to developers under license, says PopCatcher.»
