Our StartupWeekend hack,music fingerprinting,on the desktop,all the time

In plain words

Soundbite is a desktop application that identifies music in real time using fingerprinting technology. Created during a Startup Weekend event, it recognizes songs playing around the user whenever they're working on their computer. The tool is designed for music enthusiasts who want to discover and catalog music they encounter throughout their day without manual searching or identification.
