Imagine a software application which allowed BlackBerry users to monitor what's playing on their favorite local radio station at any given time. I didn't mean listen to it - I meant just know what was playing.

Huh?

Apparently, that's the idea behind Radio Companion from Nobex Technologies and Mediaguide, the two companies which have teamed up to make this happen.

According to money.cnn.com: "Mediaguide currently tracks the real-time airplay of more than 2,700 terrestrial radio stations...[which]...allows Radio Companion users to see what is playing right now on any of their favorite radio stations..."

"They can then select the music track to have its details sent instantly to their email account, with a direct link to click-through and purchase the song online."

This strikes me as being very weird. If you are unfamiliar with the song being played, I doubt you're going to want to download/purchase it without hearing it. And if you are familiar with the song being played - and you like it - you'll probably wish you could hear it right there and then. I doubt users will be saying to themselves, "Gee...I think I'll email myself that song's link so I can purchase it later and try to relive this moment - when I really wanted to hear it."

It's like Radio with no sound - only a description. You can download Radio Companion

Could come in handy though.  I have friends who know a radio station plays a certain song but they have no idea what its called, so if they have the track listing without listening, they can check up on the song after work to see if it is their mystery song.

Radio with no sound.... that's how it's best to listen to CFAX, with no sound.
