HD Radio rolls out iTunes tagging
Well you may have missed this particular feature in your rush to pick up Polk's I-Sonic Entertainment System 2 table radio, but like its upcoming iHD brother from JBL, the ES2 is one of the first HD Radio models to feature a new iTunes tagging option that lets users bookmark over-the-air tracks for later purchase. In a symbiotic program that should potentially benefit studios, consumers, and perhaps even the medium itself, Apple hooked up with HD Radio developer iBiquity to integrate a "Tag" button into future hardware releases, which when triggered loads metadata about the current song to memory for future transfer to a docked iPod. Once that iPod has been synced with iTunes, users will have the option of previewing and / or buying elements of the specific playlist that's been cobbled together. Le's just hope Universal and Apple make nice sooner rather than later, because the absence of a major label from iTunes certainly isn't gonna do anything to turn us into a nation of taggers.

Cool. Now maybe Apple can work with HD radio makers to set realistic price points. $400 for a clear HD signal of the same 6 songs repeated daily isn't very tempting. And I don't need to hear about Crystal Burgers in surround sound.
The Pioneer Inno already has the ability to do this with songs from XM and tagged to be bought later on Napster.
Hi Robert from Texas,
My name is Meena Thiruvengadam. I am a business reporter with the San Antonio Express-News in San Antonio, Texas. I am writing a story about music tagging technology and would like to talk with you about your experiences with XM and Napster. I was not even aware the service existed. Could you please drop me an email at meenat@express-news.net? Feel free to call me at 210-250-3459 as well. I'm hoping to talk with you as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance,
Meena Thiruvengadam
the music service smstunes.com already have this service for most popular US based FM radio stations (no HD), you just need to send a text message with the station frequency, a little more work involved but you don't need to know the name of the song. More details here:
