Internet radio script

Halo to all you good people.
I got a raspberry pi Zero and i am trying to make an internet radio, following a tutorial but i am stuck with the python code. when i try to run it i get the following message:

"pi@raspberrypi:~/Projects/Radio $ sudo python radio.py
File "radio.py", line 96
time.sleep(1)
^
IndentationError: unexpected indent"

here is the code from the tutorial:

i am a total new to python and i would appreciate your help.

thank you all and best regards

you have unwanted spaces on lines (96, 101, 114, 117)

is this better?

do you have the original code? was it required to edit this code or did you choose to do so on your own?

well i don't get the error code anymore and when i run the program it starts playing my added internet radio stations (3 stations added so far) but it plays every station for 2 sec and then skips to the next and then loops them...

i have the original code but the only changes made are in the gpio used for lcd and 2 buttons

Code from tutorial

# Define GPIO to LCD mapping
LCD_RS = 25
LCD_E  = 24
LCD_D4 = 23
LCD_D5 = 17
LCD_D6 = 21
LCD_D7 = 22
 
# Defomte GPIO for Radio Controls
NEXT = 18
PREV = 4

changed to

# Define GPIO to LCD mapping
LCD_RS = 26
LCD_E  = 19
LCD_D4 = 13
LCD_D5 = 6
LCD_D6 = 5
LCD_D7 = 11
   
# Defomte GPIO for Radio Controls
NEXT = 24
PREV = 4
