Song IDs from Shazam, mostly.
I'm not sure where/how to get signal info some others posted to report that, but my ATS-909X2 shows RSSI of ~30-ish most of the time with SNR around maybe 20-ish (on screen these are like "30DB" and "20DB"). I did lose the music a few times, but it was audible most of the time even if it wasn't totally clear all the time. Generally, it seemed to come in better before about 0200 than after.
