This hack takes on two products I love. On one side, last.fm which needs support from the player to send the correct data to the server, on the other Soundhound/Shazam which go with you but are impossible to have running permanently.

The only downside I can think of is that my playlist would become cluttered with Let The Bodies Hit The Floor whenever I start spending too much time on Youtube

This fits perfectly when I'm listening to online radio, and "that" song I want to know, SoundBite will tell me! It will increase sales for companies, maybe you should sell the songs recognized by SoundBite.co
Sounds nice!, When I'm listening to online radio, I tend to forget the name of a song I liked (so I can download it later). If this does it automatically, it'll solve a huge pain for me.
Yep, this is exactly what we are doing, we have a very good proof of concept/very small MVP going on and working really hard to have a v1!
Sounds like a good idea. Frequently I listen for some combo of the lyrics and then google it when I hear a cool new song I don't know. Soundbite could make that easier.
Awesome, sometimes u are hanging on your friend's home listening to music and u just wanna grab what your hearing and take it home to buy/or listening the music later.
Sounds really great! Personally I watch everything on the PC so keeping track for all the songs sounds great, movies n' stuff...
