I’m still a iPlayer Radio user and don’t really plan to switch to Sounds anytime soon, due to missing functionality. (I listen to podcasts on the Apple app)

But I haven’t seen anything being removed from iPlayer Radio yet.

BTW - you can find non-music stuff in Categories below the fold on the Sounds app - so there’s Drama, for example.

No more granular categorisation into Crime, Historical etc - which is a shame

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Sounds is utterly terrible. It's really difficult when they push it so much on the radio (ie. minimum 4 times per hour mentioned on radio 6 in the morning. I though, yeah ok then i'll support and give it a go. It's (well, when I tried it a while back) missing casting, an alarm, downloading, and easy way to search and find radio programmes, and a whole heap of other "base" features.

I am genuinely shocked as to why they're pushing it so hard, especially given that the current iplayer radio app is fantastic.
