The Multimedia API provides a number of radio related classes for control over the radio tuner of the system, and gives access to Radio Data System (RDS) information for radio stations that broadcasts it.

The Radio API consists of two separate components. The radio tuner, QRadioTuner which handles control of the radio hardware as well as tuning. The other component uses the QRadioData class, which gives access to RDS information.

The actual level of support depends on the underlying system support. Only analog radio is supported and the properties of the radio data component will only be populated if the system radio tuner supports RDS.
