Default Retail/Business Music Systems with FM-tie-in

How does this work?

In our store's case we have a telephony amp(for paging)
with an Aux connection accomodating the music service
- a small black receiver about the size of a Betamax
video tape. That unit is IP-fed from our corporate office,
combining music with announcements every 3-4 songs
about discounts, etc.

So how does the FM part figure in to systems like this -
buffer the songs heard on a regular commercial station
for playback in the stores?

I would have posted this in rec.audio.tech but that group
sees less activity than it would six feet under.


WTF has FM got to do with it ?

Presumably HO are forwarding a stream from some internet streaming
service or radio station.

Or maybe sending songs, between announcements, from their own playlist
on Spotify or something similar.
