Hello Joseph,
Let me explain to you what is “cool”, and what CDDB did.
First of all, if you had a really nice car that you spent a lot of money and time working on and someone stole it, how would you like it if someone said “Hey, I don’t care if that guy stole the car or not, he still has one COOL car. I am going to buy it from him because it is cool. I don’t care if he stole it from you and it is actually your work that made it that way. He has it now and it is cool”
Now, here is what they did. We ALL typed in our track information for years and populated the CDDB database and gave it the value it now has. Then Gracenote purchased OUR HARD WORK and now you have to have software that pays Gracenote in order to access OUR HARD WORK.
Get it? If not, then don’t fret yourself with trying any harder to understand, you probably will never get it……..

This is an extremely cool app. Why should we avoid Gracenote, if they have something that’s cool, that we like, and nobody else has it? And what’s this garbage about Gracenote stealing CDDB? Seems to me that there’s freedb, which started with the same code and data as CDDB. Stop yer crying.

What Gracenote is is the company that stole the CDDB from the public. It’s best to avoid doing any business with them.

[...] Gracenote offers, like lyrics lookup, music discovery, and handsfree music navigation. Around CES time, it sounded like RIM was being troublesome about getting the service onto BlackBerrys, but I think [...]

Luc,
Thanks for making fun of my bad Canon shots
They seem to have developed the software separately from RIM and are trying to convince them to buy it… I hope

One thing at a time:
.
1) If anything, that Gracenote thing would make me feel less envious of forum mates that have iPhones and rub that exact same feature in my nose!
.
2) The link you provide says “Gracenote Mobile MusicID works together with BlackBerry software and BlackBerry smartphones and blah blah blah…” So, are they in bed already or not?
.
3) That’s got to be the best picture of a finger smudge I’ve ever seen.
