Ford to offer iTunes tagging in their cars

Just as 2009 was ending, author announced that they'll be substance a newborn choice in their cars for 2010: the knowledge to "tag" some songs you hap to hear on the broadcasting for after acquire in iTunes. It'll be an option, so it won't come accepted in the newborn Taurus you buy, but if you opt for the HD Radio, the stereo will hit a "tag" fix that will getting the information of some you're hearing, sync it to your connected iPod and then alter it up for acquire in iTunes the incoming instance you're at your computer. It sounds like a win-win for everybody: author gets to delude HD Radios, broadcasting stations intend more listener involvement, and Apple and the penalization companies intend your sales (presuming you complete the purchase).

It'd be pleasant to hit the strain automatically dispatched to iTunes (or modify transmitted via Bluetooth to your iPhone -- maybe modify via an official app -- incoming instance it happens to be nearby the car), but digit step at a time, I guess. Don't forget that you don't modify need this choice to evaluation some penalization you hap to hear: if you hit an iPhone, you crapper use Shazam's iPhone app to center in, tell you some the strain is, and spend it for acquire after if you want.
