Inconsistent use of metadata across stations so use different way to
show track names when inside a programme like Jazz A Fip


The way that metadata for FIP was provided meant that it was not always
easy to spot the difference between a programme and a song ... so
sometimes the show details were provided even when the metadata did
contain song info somewhere else.
So for Jazz A Fip and Live A Fip it meant that sometimes only the
programme name was ever shown.
However, this behaviour was not consistent because Radio France is
inconsistent in how the data is set.

So - now modified it to say that if this "song" is long then it is
probably a programme so the search continues to see if there is a song
available further down in the data. This might mean that a very long
track on France Musique is identified as a programme but even then it
should bring back the right sort of data for most of the fields (title,
artist, cover art).

I could have done this by not checking the date/time in the data and
instead using the record that the metadata says is Now Playing ... but
history has shown that this field is not always accurate and checking
the date/time brings back more reliable info.
