Digital Sound - HD Radio broadcasts deliver crystal-clear, digital audio quality to
listeners.
HD2 /HD3 Channels - FM stations can provide additional digital only audio pro-
gramming with expanded content and format choices on HD2 /HD3 channels.

ist name and song title.
iTunes
® Tagging - Listeners can tag (store) songs they like for later review and
