Radio competes for listener attention in the car, in homes, and on mobile devices. Making sure your station looks as good as it sounds helps listeners discover you station and stay engaged. To do this, you need metadata. Car dashboards have shown song title and artist text with RDS for many years, but now there are a myriad of delivery formats you need to support, and a bevy of types of metadata you can send.
In this session, we talk about why metadata is important, explore the types of metadata you can send, learn where you need to be sending your metadata, and find out how to send it everywhere – easily and affordably.
