Erica Sudan's Listen app

Hey everyone, if you guys have been in the installer and have noticed the app 'Listen' isn't working then I'll let you in on why if you don't know.

The app is supposed to pull a five second clip of music that you have playing on the radio or where ever and then search the gracenotes database for the Song, Artist and Album info and display it for you. Well Erica ran into a road block with Gracenote and stopped working on the project. It's an issue of licensing and cost.

Personally I would like to see this app finished. She told me that it is a little more than she can afford to put into a project, which is where I thought we could help.

I'd like to set up a contribution to finish the project, but first I'd like to know who would even use the app. If you want to see it finished let me know. If enough people want this program, I purpose that we start a fund for the licensing. I will set up a paypal account, with the account info in the care of the folks here at modmyi.com and we'll see if we can't get this up and running. If it doesn't work, everything that redistributed back.

Let me know, thanks!

Well, I need to know people would be willing to contribute. I know there is a long way to go, but if there is no support from anyone, there is not much I can do about it.

idk, she didn't tell me. She said a lot tho. I need to get back to her and see exactly what we are talking about here. I know that licensing this kind of stuff isn't cheap tho.

How much money are we talking about raising here? $100? $1,000? 100,000? I would be willing to donate, but only if the end goal was a reasonable amount of money. being that this probably isn't a must have application for the average user, I doubt we could collect thousands of dollars.

It didn't do anything because Gracenote blocked us from using their server database to search for songs. We need to purchase a License to use the Server. Find out the total cost, if it's a reachable amount, then I will surely donate...
