I am a complete novice to RDS. I have an EDM-TX-RDS FM Transmitter that has built in RDS support that I use for my Christmas light show every year. I decided to dive in and get the RDS capability running this year but I have a basic question right off the bat even though I have not done anything yet.
My objective is to display text like, "Song 1 of 5 - The Nutcracker" when the song is being broadcast by my transmitter. My question is, since the text information will be stored (I think) within the RDS unit rather than encoded with the song data, how does the system know what text to link with what song? Logically, it seems like anything related to a particular song would have to be embedded with the song and then the RDS unit would "read" this data when the song plays. However, I have not seen anything that would point me in that direction yet.
As I said, I am totally clueless at this point and would appreciate some pointers to get me started in the right direction so I can get my RDS up and running.
