Can BBC Sounds be accessed via a Wiim mini ?

Just wish to double check before purchase. Thank you.

Not tried it on a Mini but if it uses the same app etc. as the WiiM amp then it should be possible as we use BBC sounds on ours. We've also got it set-up so one of the pre-sets on the remote (which I think is a £20 option for the Mini) goes straight to the station my wife uses most.

If you use Squeezelite and LMS, yes. You can access all BBC channels on the Wiim ProPlus though.

There may be helpful information from users on the Wiim Forums, such as at WiiM Home App > Music Services > Radio Services, or there is a section dedicated to the mini.

I just use Airplay.

Appears to be standard on the wiim app.

There may be a difference between what is available via the Wiim 'BBC Radio' and 'BBC Sounds'

As indicated, if the WiiM has Chromecast built in, any mobile device with the BBC Sounds app can be used.

The mini doesn’t have Chromecast though the posher models do. You’re on Airplay as the best option.
