Roadrunner.exe/USBRadio.dll - What is the best combo for RDS?

I bought a 2008 Nissan Altima. These have very poor radio reception with anything other than the factory radio. I was using the Directed HD radio tuner but finally got tired of it constantly switching from HD to analog so I switched back to the Silab USB I used before the HD tuner. I've searched and found that there are several versions of USBRadio.dll but none seem to work much better than the one released with the 11/4/07 RR. I was wondering if anyone has found a good rr.exe usbradio combination that handles RDS well. I'm currently using the 11/7/07 RR with the 184KB 4/12/07 USBRadio.dll with a modified BMV2 skin. I'm really not interested in traffic, news, etc, just good RDS decoding and faster station changes. Thanks.

all i can say is both plugins have good and bad points
and 1 has better features to the other,

but saying that the more you ask the more better each plugin will become
as long as it is feasible to add. both plugins are from very good programmers,and both have a good knowledge between them both to produce very good plugins.

petes plugin has some very nice features eg. remeber last media played and freephone
unfortuntly it is mostly based on a daul tuner.

Spiders plugin (and i'm not saying this due to the fact i use it) is also very good and very fast, but its in its early stages, features are added all the time, and is getting better each time i test it.and with the up comming Quad sound should make things alittle intresting lol...

now i have only tryed Spiders plugin,because i only have 1 tuner ,with no plans to buy another, but from what i have read on petes thread daul tuner has its advantages.
correct me if i wrong, but if you have 1 tuner best with Spiders , if you have or plan to have 2 tuners go for petes.

but keep an eye on the threads worth subcribing to them.

thats my blag out the way.
