enabling or disabling the audio cues is how the built-in accessibility on the talking cell phones work.
personally, I would like access to the meta information on HD radios, such as song title and artist. A few HD stations in Chicago have just added deejays that now recap the songs they have just played. However, many still don't because of the expectation of access to the metadata.
