New Scientist reports about RFID tags that come with Jingles.Florian Wesch, a computer science student from Durlach in Germany, has worked out a way to store a tune on the radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags now attached to most goods. To squeeze a jingle onto a tag's 1-kilobyte memory, Wesch used the compressed music format employed by the Commodore 64 home computer of the 1980s.When the tag is scanned at the checkout, it would send the tune to be played by the tag reader.Interesting, may be this is a sign that RFID is moving into mainstream fast!!
