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 ?

Calmate por favor! lol. No need for WTF. I both read on-line, and heard it from the IT guys who come to our workplace, that the music feed system incorporates FM. Beyond that, no details. Just thought someone on here might know.


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.

"HO"?

What you're suggesting seems to make sense.
The only thing I'm curious about are the
specifics of how it works.

From 2015 to present our song list has
gone from at least 50 songs down to 15.
I hear things like Sam Smith's "Not Good At
Goodbyes" and a Shawn Mendes song I can't
think of the title at least four times per
shift!

Stuff I do hear radio stations in our
area playing.
