Title: Missing Numbers in Song Title
Post by: radiosavage on April 17, 2025, 12:42:37 am

I have an issue with just one song so far but it is in rotation a fair amount.  I am using Magic RDS 4 with a P164.  The automation system is Zetta. 

Here is what I get when I monitor the input on the external text source:

TX:
3,2,1 - Tucker Wetmore

However, in the RDS Out to the P164 it cuts off the 3, and sends only this text:

RDSOUT text: 2,1 - TUCKER WETMORE

Is there some processing that I am not finding?  I have not added any text replace or special programming.

Thanks a bunch if anyone has an idea.

Turn off the option "Remove song numbering" which is probably unnecessary when using Zetta.

I have turned that off and will check on it.  I hadn't thought about that setting.  I was under the impression that setting looking for number and then ".".

Thank you!

The function was originally written for situations when the player provides song file name instead of ID3 information. Various song numbering is used for the files, incl. 12. (34) 56, 78- etc. Unfortunately, some artist names violate with the numbering.
Today, the function has probably no significant reason for being used. It can be replaced by regex when necessary.
