MusiKube's services include:

-- The iCapture Audio Recognition Service, which turns everyday

mobile phones into music capture and discovery devices by

allowing consumers to identify music whenever it is heard.

-- The iCapture Barcode Recognition Service, which turns camera

phones into music capture and discovery devices by allowing

consumers to scan barcodes on albums, advertisements, concert

posters and other print media, such as in-store displays. The

barcode recognition technology was developed and is licensed
