Do they have portable radios that tell you the name and artist of song playing?

You know like the car radios do as well as when you stream on computer. Was wondering if they have portable radio devices that have that technology in it also. What are they called or what is the feature called and who puts them out?

    Yes, this feature is typically called RDS (Radio Data System) and it allows FM Radio Stations to broadcast their station name, the time, and other text data such as song title, artist, etc.

    This is an example of a portable radio with built-in RDS

    In the US, try a portable HD radio or Satellite radio.
    Else, try a DAB-based radio, although analog FM radios may have the feature as well.
