Zusammenfassung:	This invention relates to a method of obtaining information on media content, the method comprising: at a mobile device (200, 220), capturing a portion of the media content; calculating an identifier by doing an analysis of the portion of the media content; identifying a system (160, 250) to receive the identifier; and communicating the identifier to the system (160, 250) to identify the information on the media content, wherein the mobile device (200, 220) is configured to receive the information from the system and display the information on the mobile device. This invention also relates to a method of providing, in a client/server system, information from a remote server system (160, 250) relating to a content item, such as a music track or television program, at a client system (100, 130, 200, 220), the method comprising: receiving at the server system a portion of the content item from the client system (100, 130, 200, 220), and processing the received portion of the content item to compute a hash value for the received portion of the content item, the computed hash value to be utilized as an identifier for the content item; providing a lookup module (253, 260) of the server system (160, 250), said lookup module (253) including the identifier for the content item and further information on the content item; utilizing said lookup module (253, 260) at the server system to obtain said further information using the identifier for the content item; and transmitting, from the server system (160, 250), the further information to the client system (100, 130, 200, 220), thereby enhancing the content item on the client system (100, 130, 200, 220) by providing to the client system the further information as currently included in the lookup module (253, 260).
