Aladin

I often hear tunes on the radio that I instantly like, but don't know the title. The Chiller Cabinet on Classic FM between 12am and dusk is a fantastic programme, and I have bought more Cd's after hearing a great track, than any other Radio Station. Thing is, I was stumped on how to get the title of the track, as sometimes they do not announce what they are. Sorted though by the miracle of technology. If you have a mobile phone and dial 2580, hold the phone to the speaker, and 'shazam' in a few seconds you will get the title in text form, in seconds. This works with all tunes and stations, and 9 out of ten times, will come up trumps. I envisaged a little musical world wise guy sitting in a darkened room somewhere, listening at the other end of the phone, and frantically texting you back. Try it, it's great.
