Only in Boston, and it's only for stations broadcasting digitally or otherwise broadcasting song information as text. For regular stations (if they're even listed, which not all of them are), you just get the DJ's name.

And this is different from Yes.com how? Actually, I see that it offers all manner of programming, not just the currently played tracks. But still ... Yes is much easier.

Yes.com gives historical data, not just current tracks.

The nice thing about the application is how light it is. For each radio station, the app only need download 10 or so covers due to the repitition. In the next rev, you will be able to see the number of seconds until the next playing of Daniel Powter's "You Had a Bad Day"
