The thing is that if you try to play radio stations that use the iHeart
radio format using the TuneIn Radio feature, Squeezebox can not
properly show the song title or artist name without all of the other
iTunes ID stuff. I wish in vain that some 3rd party plugin developers
could overcome this limitation with their code and maybe the official
Logitech developers will (yeah I'm dreaming). Michael Herger are you
reading this? I would gladly pay for this, since this seems to be the
new trend by another major 3rd party plugin developer (charging for his
plugins, he is very advanced and he deserves to be paid for his work).

To see if it does this for you, search for KZPS in the web UI under
Internet Radio>Search and play the station. You may have to have the
TuneIn Radio feature and be registered there for this to work, I don't
recall.

Example of display on Squeezebox on the example KZPS station:
text="Feel Like Makin' Love" song_spot="M" MediaBaseId="1086163"
itunesTrackId="318727125" amgTrackId="T 12309918" amgArtistId="0"
TAID="40534" TPID="1573102" cartcutId="0026092001"

Lone Star 92.5
Bad Company

The top part is what scrolls across the Squeezebox. The bottom part is
under that. Very annoying.

I wish this could be fixed. I realize this is what a lot of Clear
Channel radio stations do. I really do not understand why, unless they
get more return for their dollar investment this way.
