What about running a stream through some kind of acoustic fingerprint lookup service like MusicBrainz or Shazam? As I don't think this kind of data will be available in the near future...

If server load isn;t really an issue, I'd love to have access to a 'what's playing now/what's just played' feed... As well as tickers, there are a stack of potential mobile applications... eg mre often than not, there'll be a tune playing on a music station that i miss the name of/miss the artist, and I would love to be able to send a txt ("wjp radio1") and a get a msg back with attributions for the last 3 tunes (and perhaps download links for those tunes from an online music store, or reservation links to add the appropriate album to my amazon wichlist) tony - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
