Download music as you hear it on digital radio

[engine]

British consumers are set to be the first in the world able to buy songs instantly as they listen to them on digital radio, using a download service announced on Monday by UBC Media.

The London-based radio programming producer said it would begin testing the technology on Chrysalis Group's Heart station, with plans for a full roll-out by December.

It added that digital-radio-enabled mobile phones would be available later this year.

Neat, i'd like that.

A great idea, but have you heard the rubbish they play on Heart.fm?

Nope, but I take it you have. ;)

That aside, the concept is great. How many times have you heard a great song and then, it's gone!

Have you tried this?
It only works on Shoutcast/mp3 radio stations, but it does work. There's nothing new under the sun.
