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())
