For sources without metadata (e.g., phono/RCA input or radio), use the built-in microphone to identify the currently playing music and retrieve its metadata from the internet, so it can be displayed on the WiiM Ultra / WiiM Amp Ultra screen.
I’d really like my WiiM Ultra’s screen to display the album artwork and show the artist, album, and track details for whatever is playing on my turntable or other "analog source".

That would require a technology like Shazam. I would be surprised if WiiM would invest in that.

And why then use a microphone? The device already have the audio stream.

From what little I know there are open-source options that work similarly to Shazam, allowing the identification of songs through acoustic "fingerprints"(psyacoustid + AcoustID API + musicbrainz database). And yes, no need to use the microphone, the device already have the audio stream :)

I'm not trying to be disagreeable and I have no objection to any feature I don't or wouldn't personally use .....but ..... haha.......

When I play a record, tape or cd and want to see the artwork or information I look at the cover/inlay.
