Hi all, This is not stricly a plugin, it's more of a HOWTO: I recently managed to make my FM USB radio stream its audio to squeezecenter, with included RDS information (station name, radiotext).
The rationale behind is that I had trouble to get a good quality and reliable stream for my favorite radio station, which I could anyway get through a standard FM radio. Moreover many stations actually send the current song name in the RDS info, which is never available on their mp3 streams. Using a cheap USB radio dongle and a simple icecast/ices2 setup I managed to make the radio stream to squeezecenter, and I also set up a small daemon called "rdsd" so that the radio RDS info is injected into the stream. Sound quality is great too, I was really surprised! The result is that the SB3 now shows the name of the current song in real time when listening to the radio, which is really nice!
