Okay have the Japanese never heard of Country music? When programming the "type" of station there is not a country type. Maybe no one else listens to country music anymore, I don't think so. Is this something that could be upgraded?

I have found that the RDS search (at least in Los Angeles) will classify "country" stations in the Rock category. It may very well not be the Japanese not providing a classification for it, but the RDS system may have a limited caregory designation. Why else would Classical and Jazz ever be put together?!

I think it depends on your area. If no stations in your area broadcast via RDS that they are in the Country category, or even fall under "Misc," then you won't have any country stations show up.
