Metadata on the Radio (Camworld) -- "After we exhausted my supply of available CDs, I switched to the radio and found a station to listen to. Several times, a song came on that I didn't know. It frustrated me that I could not glance down at the radio to see what was playing. This desire for more information about songs (called metadata) that were playing led me to realize that there isn't much stopping radio broadcasters from broadcasting a little extra metadata with their signal, which could then be simultaneously displayed on the standard LED most CD players have."
