Ed Ruth, director of Digital Music at Verizon announced the milestones at the Billboard Touring Conference and Awards, taking place this week in New York City Once a song is identified, Song ID determines whether the song is available as a ringtone or ringback tone on VZW Tones or as a full track on V CAST Music, then customers can immediately purchase that song in any available format.

 V CAST Song ID can identify millions of songs, from genres ranging from the latest chart toppers to '80s rock classics. When the phone is placed near a music source like a stereo speaker or car radio, V CAST Song ID names the artist, song and album title. After successful recognition, the application will determine if the song is available as a full-track song, ringtone or ringback tone and, when prompted by the user, directly launch either the Verizon Wireless' V CAST Music store where the user has the option to purchase and download the full track or the VZW Tones store, where the user can purchase the track as a ringtone, ringback tone or both.

COMMENT FROM WIRELESS AND MOBILE NEWS:
Personally we would prefer the lyrics from "Whatever You Like" like, "Last night sex was so wet, you're so tight. I'll gas up the jet for you tonight," not be identified. Other not-so-virtuoso lyrics from the song are, "You want it, I got it, go get it I buy it, tellem other broke n*$*^as be quiet."
