RDS / Radio Text Winamp plugin for FM modulator?

hakan · 03-20-2002, 04:31 AM

Is there a plugin for the FM modulator to encode the song details in RDS or Radio Text into the wave output so you can see the details of the song on your headunit display instead of building your own LCD?

A lot of radio stations here in Belgium use RDS, some of them use Radio Text too. It's nice to see which song is playing or what program you're listening at.

Or is there another option?

I was just looking for the same thing - and I found it!

There's a Winamp plugin called Stereo Tool that does just this, which can be downloaded from http://www.stereotool.com/ . Setting up song info is still a bit of a hassle though - you need a second plugin to get the song info. And it's not described anywhere except on their forum: http://forums.stereotool.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=26

I'm still looking for a Winamp plugin which saves the song info to a file in the correct format - but that shouldn't be too difficult to find.
