Thanks for the that Jungle. Definitely useful feedback. My thoughts are that GimmeSomeTune is probably a bit too complex for my needs. (I am only really after cover art). I'll try the demo of CoverScout to see if it's more accurate than Fetch Art. Lefty -- Lefty Densen B400xs, Linn

I think iPhone might be on the right track. My microwave is possibly ten years old, even my wireless phone is six years old. My microwave sits eight feet from my kitchen SB3 and my main wireless phone station is two feet from my wireless router. I use the UK three prong earthed wiring system. I

I just wanted to add to the above; if there does turn out to be any code in the application that is abstract enough to be generally useful to the iPhone development community as a whole, I will almost certainly release it under an open-source license, NDA/TCs permitting. -- Luke Redpath

Sorry, can't help :( But hopefully one day they support Napster (which is like Rhapsody but has a much better library) as we are stuck here in the UK too. Not sure it will happen, as there is talk of a) the firmware being maxed outalready and b) The agreement with Real Networks might not allow
