Does anyone have good results with getting songtitles on a bluetooth stereo headset?
I believe that AVRCP 1.3, the bluetooth system that is required for songtitles, is supported by Windows8. On my bluetooth headset (Sony MW600) systems that do not support it, like my old iPhone 3G, just show nothing. Systems that do support it, like my iPad and my old Win7 install with Widcomm bluetooth stack, nicely show song titles on playing.
Windows 8 however shows only the text "Windows Sound" on my headset. This indicates it knows how to send information to the headset (hence AVRCP 1.3 seems to work), but somehow the actual songtitles don't quite make it that far. I tried the Metro music app, and the on the desktop Spotify. The latter supported song titles on Win7.
Does anyone have insights or experiences to share?
