Actually I have a phone book entry on my phone, which you can call, hold
your phone up to some random speaker (be it in your car, on the TV, etc) for
10 seconds, then a few seconds later it texts you back the artist and song
name. It's pretty neat and has worked every time I've tried it.
Maybe it works in the frequency domain, so takes the fourier transform of
the sample, then uses some fuzzy matching algorithm to see what it matches
up with?

What do you mean? Isn't the whole idea of a *serial* number that you can
identify which one it is?
