Midomi allows iPod Touch users the ability to ID songs just by holding your iPod Touch up the speaker the song is playing out of. You can even hum or sing the song and Midomi will be able to tell you the name and artist of the song! This is great for when you have a song stuck in your head and you just can't remember what it is, or if you hear music you like and want to know who made it. Well worth the nearly five bucks indeed.
