Metadata solution providers

It is important to ensure digital radio looks and sounds good in the car

Metadata enables visual information, both text and graphics, to be displayed on the dashboard when a specific station is playing for example station name and logo, presenter, song title and album artwork.

WorldDAB members offer solutions that enable the use of metadata via DAB and hybrid to power radio's visual presence in the car - here is who can help:
