BRIEF
Call for new ideas connecting digital media and sound to be developed at the BBC Audiolab Workshop.

SOLUTION
Cut and Paste Your Radio is a proposal exploring the idea of users 'cutting and pasting' information and music from their radio to their mobile phones using SMS and WAP technologies. Users can then share music through their phone with their network of friends.
Video simulation of service: Marc listening to unknown track on radio; audio sting declares “To Cut and Paste Your Radio – key up BBCR1 now!”; Marc enters shortcode 'BBCR1' (2271 on alphanumeric keyboard)
SMS message received from radio; SMS message identifies last track played
Marc forwards track name to Neil with whom he would like to share music
Neil receives link to an audio clip of the track he listens to via his phone
Marc finds out more information about the band including live dates
