Auntie Sounds
A library for interacting with BBC radio stations via an interface to BBC Sounds. It was written to be used for the BBC Sounds provider for Music Assistant but exists as a standalone library.
Features
✅ Signing into a BBC Sounds account
✅ Listing current station programming
✅ Obtaining a stream to listen to a station
✅ Getting the current and previous segments (typically songs) on a station
✅ Displaying and listening to previous shows
Not implemented
❌ Pausing or rewinding live radio
Notes
- It is written as an async library
- A BBC account is not required for most actions, but as BBC region-locks streams and is turning off non-UK access soon, is it the supported way to use it
Example Usage
import asyncio
from sounds import exceptions
from sounds.client import SoundsClient
async def main():
try:
client = SoundsClient(username="username", password="password")
if await client.login():
stations = await client.stations.get_stations()
schedule = await client.schedules.get_schedule("bbc_6music", date="2025-10-26")
bbc_6music = await client.stations.get_station("bbc_6music", include_stream=True)
except exceptions.LoginFailedError:
...
except exceptions.APIResponseError:
...
except exceptions.NetworkError:
...
asyncio.run(main())
