I-Phone app and indexing of music

#1

Hi all,

in my I-Phone I got an app where I can hold its mic towards a
loudspeaker, it makes a recording and sends that over the internet. In
a few seconds I get an answer to what song is playing and an offer to
buy that song from an Apple store.

How is this done?
How is music indexed?
I can start recording at any point in the song (I don't have to start
from the beginning)...

Any thoughts?
