Opus Capital Ventures has provided Hingi with $3.5 million in the first round of funding, reports mocoNews. The Israeli mobile apps developer has created a service called “Hear It N’ Get It,” which can be used to identify broadcast music and let users download related content, including ringtones and MP3 tracks. Users can send an SMS with the name or a short-code of the radio or TV station where the music was played to receive the name of the last three songs, along with links to buy the related content. To date Israeli mobile operator Cellcom has already implemented this service.
