====Improved features for users====
DAB devices perform band-scans over the entire frequency range, presenting all stations from a single list for the user to select from.

DAB is capable of providing metadata alongside the audio stream. Metadata allows visual information, text and graphics - such as the station name and logo, presenter, song title and album artwork - to be displayed while a station is playing. Radio stations can provide the metadata to augment the listening experience, particularly on car receivers which have large display panels.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.worlddab.org/system/news/documents/000/012/819/original/WorldDAB_look_your_best.pdf?1666945342 |title=Make sure you look your best in the car, WorldDAB urges radio stations |author=WorldDAB |website=WorldDAB.org |date=29 October 2023 |access-date=1 July 2023 |archive-date=22 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230622005350/https://www.worlddab.org/system/news/documents/000/012/819/original/WorldDAB_look_your_best.pdf?1666945342 |url-status=live }}</ref>

{{anchor|DLS}}DAB can carry "radiotext" (in DAB terminology, ''Dynamic Label Segment'', or DLS) from the station giving real-time information such as song titles, music type and news or traffic updates, of up to 128 characters in length. This is similar to a feature of FM called [[Radio Data System|RDS]], which enables a radiotext of up to 64 characters.

The DAB transmission contains a local [[time of day]] and so a device may use this to automatically correct its internal clock when travelling between time zones and when changing to or from [[Daylight Saving]].
