RTÉ Radio metadata

how does this work?

if RTE Radio 1 for example plays a song from a CD or if Cian Ó Cíobháin is playing vinyl on R Na G will it show up here, or is it just if its played from RTE Radio computer playout ?

No metadata from CD or vinyl, only the computerised playout - Jutel Radioman. They send it from Radioman to middle man software - "Rapid 4" made by AIM (hence the aimonair URL). Rapid 4 takes the Radioman "now playing" and supplements it with programme schedule information and posts it to RSS feed for RDS, streaming or website etc.

Radio Kerry using Rapid 4 and also automatically adding orange and red weather alerts direct from Met Eireann.

how does it work with a pre-recorded/voicetracked programme with music, where the individual tracks are not played 'live' and the programme is played out as 'one file'

Also, why aren't any songs played on 2FM since 6pm today not showing - so there are no tracks from Jenny Greene from 6pm and Dave Treacy's show from 8pm??, most recent song displaying was at 17:55:
