iTunes, how I love and hate thee

Today was a pretty long day in the office.  I spent literally the entire day going through the same song compilation list and checking if the songs were on iTunes, and if they were, to put the links into the excel sheet.  This way, we can see 1) which are on there 2) which ones we have to either put on there or track a different way.  Also, I received the licenses that the company is currently working on.  I learned about two new programs/companies: tunewikiand TuneSat.  Tunewiki puts lyrics to real time video or song, and is helpful in identifying songs you know the lyrics of but want to know the song title.  Tunesat is a cool program where it can identify songs by their unique "audio fingerprint," capable of detecting a song being played with a lot of audio noise around it, or even only using 3 seconds of a song.  This program helps music publishers track how their music is broadcasted so they can accurately charge for the airplay.
