MusiKube is demonstrating a new Music Discovery solution for Windows Mobile Smartphones and Pocket PCs at CITA in Atlanta this week.

According to the company, Music Discovery is a suite of technologies and services for mobile operators and retailers that give consumers the tools to capture their music interests, while giving retailers, record labels and wireless service providers new commerce opportunities.

MusiKube's services include the iCapture audio and barcode recognition services, and the in-store Personal Music Guide. iCapture audio recognition allows consumers to identify music whenever it is heard, while the iCapture barcode recognition allows them to scan barcodes on albums, advertisements, concert posters and other print media, such as in-store displays.

The Personal Music Guide is a wireless music discovery system for music retailers. It uses a customized PDA and a proprietary Media Platform with licensed samples of millions of songs, album reviews and related content, to give consumers the ability to scan barcodes in a store and receive a personalized and interactive information.

Whether captured via audio or barcode scanned, once a song has been identified through the iCapture service, consumers can open links and listen to song samples, receive recommendations, share the information with their friends and buy related products, such as ringtones, 'truetones' and digital downloads directly on their Windows Mobile-based device. A full list of all identified songs and albums can also be viewed, sampled and purchased from the MusiKube website
