No, it's purely to enable some features on radio units such as mine to tell
me what type of music I am listening to. I ignore the henre display - pretty
useless really, I know the difference between "news" and "rock" and
"classic" thanks. More useful is theRadio-Text feature. Whilst listening to
Radio 3 I had
[Rachmaninov Paiano Concert No. 2 : Movement 3 : Allegro Non Troppo} (or
something like that) scrolling along the display. I wish it were possible to
transfer this text to MD!

Some people find it useful, and it seemed like a good idea at the time I
guess.

If the features were built into the tuner and MD you would, but at the
moment they are not available.

Not sure I understand what you're planning to do, but if what you need is a
way of chopping out commercials etc. when recording then it would.
