Hi Jo,

Its because the station does not include the "Title" metadata tag in its stream. If a station includes the Title tag its usually formatted as "Album - Song Title" like you see when playing The Jazz Groove. Other stations just stuff the song title in the "Title" tag. When a station does not include the Title tag, Moode just displays the station URL.

The reason radio stations don't include some or any metadata in their streams has to do with the type of streaming software they use and whether they have a process for providing the metadata.

Actually, the logic in Moode for dealing with radio station metadata is pretty complex because stations don't follow the rules and do all sorts of bad things with metadata.

Regards,
Tim
