I recently started listening radio stations through musicbee (a lot of iheartradio)

1. Some don't show anything eg:


2. Some show random text that has nothing to do with the song eg:


3. Some show the correct information but its in a weird format eg:


4. And Some are perfectly formmated eg:


As far as I know, these are all iheartradio streams, so I'm not sure why they are formatted differently, but that's beside the point. How do I get these to be formatted correctly?

If I'm not mistaken, the data is sent by the originator of the stream. Some streams have data; some don't. Some that do don't implement it correctly.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

Phred is not wrong.  MusicBee can only display the metadata the station actually chooses to send, in whatever format or stage of completeness that may be.  A lot of stations seem to regard metadata as an "afterthought," if they indeed send any at all.
