Just got this iPhone app, as recommended by the latest issue of What Hi-Fi?
Essentially, you play a song into it (by holding the iPhone's mic as close to the source as you can get) and it does some clever jiggerypokery and tells you what the song is, including a link to the iTunes Store. (It also does some other stuff with tagging your location and photos and whatnot, but the song identification is its primary function.) It's worked flawlessly for me so far, and What Hi-Fi? put it through a moderately rigorous test too.
This is a bit of software I've always wanted and I'm overjoyed to finally discover it exists. Hurrah!
