Re: RDS car radio

Aaron speculated of Greater Media's RDS Magical capabilities:
>>It happens because all their music comes straight from a hard 
drive...whether there's a live jock there or not.<<

yes, don already answered most of that.  the music at 55 Morrissey Blvd is 
played from little round things with a hole in the middle.  that's right: a 
Rock-o-la jukebox...  i hate that thing.  it costs me about $80 a day just to 
work there.  (five plays for a buck, though.) ;-)
  actually, the music IS in CD jukebox.  and the RDS does NOT rely on the 
Selector playlist.  if i were to manually insert a non-scheduled tune (not that 
it happens Don... Buzz... Ken... oh, all right. sometimes it does.  but it's 
not Disco...), the RDS will show the NEXT tune.  the CD juke at GM is 
redundant; there are two complete pairs of jukeboxes, each with identical discs 
in each of the slots.
