I have two BBC Sounds accounts that I use mostly for testing, but I get very different results on four different apps. If I go into it then Discover Podcasts (or Music You’ll Love):

iOS: works 100%

Android: works 100% but dates are missing from podcasts (just shows length in mins)

Windows Desktop: “Unable to browse music” for both list types (all others work)

play.sonos.com: BBC Sounds not even listed as a service.

 

Of course I tried my own apps and I get similar results to the official Windows app (due to empty xml being returned). Can someone located in the UK try these and compare results?

On the web interface, although BBC Sounds doesn’t show on Home screen, selecting Your Services “View all” it is accessible that way.

No dates shown for Discover Podcasts or Music You’ll Love, but can play from both.

edit: Now checked with Android controller and dates also missing there. iOS matches your experience, works 100%
