We have released a version of BBC Sounds on the Sonos platform, meaning you’ll be able to listen on your Sonos device via the Sonos controller app.
This means that both iOS and Android users can now get a full, personalised BBC Sounds experience on their Sonos speakers.
To enable BBC Sounds on Sonos, open the Sonos app on your device, then:
- Tap on Settings
- Tap on Services and Voice
- Scroll down to the bottom and tap on Add a service
- Scroll until you find BBC Sounds and tap Add
- Connect your BBC account with your Sonos account
- That's it!

With the BBC Sounds experience on Sonos, you can:
- Listen live to all our radio stations, including all local stations in high quality streaming audio
- Quickly access My Sounds, including the latest episodes from shows, podcasts and music mixes that you have subscribed to on Sounds
- Continue Listening to shows, podcasts and music mixes that you started listening to on any device
- Browse the latest music mixes and podcasts
- Enjoy personalised recommendations
- Browse categories
- Search for BBC content using Sonos search
- 'Star' (favourite) certain elements so they appear on your My Sonos homescreen (for example, Listen Live, Continue Listening, Recommended For You)
You can also use Sonos on desktop by installing the Sonos desktop application, which will also include BBC Sounds.
At the moment, BBC Sounds is available on the Sonos controller app within the UK only.
If you are in the UK and unable to find the BBC Sounds service on the Sonos app, your account may not be registered to the UK. You can find out how to check this on the Sonos Help Site.
