Oh Cloudbook — it’s like you just keep floating off on us. We all thought Everex’s little Eee competitor was going to drop nowadays (the 15th), but since that turned out to be a bust, we started to get curious. As you might have guessed, the $399 UMPC has been ever-so-slightly delayed, again, t…

I think one of the best ways to get rid of a song that's in your head is to hear it played. Songerize can help; the service lets you type in a song title and an artist's name, and it will find and play the song for you. The service is perfect if there's a song you want to hear or share with a friend right away. Alternatively, Songerize might be the perfect weapon in your arsenal if you're the insidious type who likes to put songs in other people's heads.

Songerize reminds me a bit of Songza, a similar service that allows you to search for a song and then play it. But Songerize is designed for finding individual songs when you know both the title and the artist's name. If you're missing either of those pieces, Songerize has difficulty finding your track. If it does find your track, though, it immediately starts playing it.

Songerize shares databases with its more feature-rich cousin, Seeqpod. The service describes itself as the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button for Seeqpod, so if you're looking for more options and remixes of specific songs, you should visit Seeqpod instead. Songerize is designed specifically to be used when you absolutely have to hear a specific song or you want your friends to hear the song that you've been humming all day.

I had a few problems with the songs buffering shortly after they started to play, but the database managed to find the bulk of the songs I searched for. Some of the more obscure artists were nowhere to be found, but all ...
