Using a smartphone-based digital assistant to identify a song playing in the background has been around for many years now. This idea takes that a step further: to start PLAYING the song in sync with the background music by pre-fetching the music file and skipping to the exact same point in the song as the source in the background it's listening to, then cranking on the volume.

Why is this desirable when clearly the song is already playing?

Because the song playing might just be a few seconds of the song playing as background to a commercial or something

//might just be a few seconds// Then how can it sync with it for the whole song¿ Apologies for syncing(sic) to such a pedantic level, but I think this aspect of the design should be considered..

"syncing[sic] to such a pedantic level"

"But" is used to present conflicting information. You want "and" or "so".
