Hey, I’m making a radio system and I wanted to add a feature : the player knows what music is being played on the radio.

Is this possible, if yes how can I do it ?

Thanks in advance,  
Ilias

It entirely depends on how you are going to implement this radio.

If this is a single event per music to be played then you can pull the name of the event using `EventDescription::getPath()`.

If you are using loose files being created with either programmer instruments or FMOD::Sound calls, then you can use `Sound::getName()`
