ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an interactive method for people to assist one another in identifying titles to songs, artists of songs, or both. The method is preferably performed over a distributed computer network such as the Internet, with some users providing voice clips and others responding with proposed artist or song name identifications corresponding to the voice clip. The voice clip author, in addition to being provided the song name and/or artist, also can be provided with portions of the actual song, the entire song, other tracks from an album or compact disc (“CD”), and perhaps other information concerning the artist, song, era of music, or other relevant content once one or more other users have provided matching identification responses. Users can be further provided with an opportunity to purchase songs, albums, cassettes, CDs or other media containing music through a vendor on the Internet.
