## 🔍 Faceted Search with `RadioFacets`

### What is `RadioFacets`?

`RadioFacets` extends `RadioBrowser` by providing faceted search functionality. It allows you to filter radio stations by various attributes such as:

-   **Tags** (`tags`)
-   **Country Code** (`countrycode`)
-   **Language** (`language`)
-   **State/Region** (`state`)
-   **Audio Codec** (`codec`)

### Example: Using `RadioFacets`

```python
from pyradios import RadioBrowser, RadioFacets

rb = RadioBrowser()
rf = RadioFacets(rb)

print(len(rf))  # Total stations available

rf_be = rf.narrow(countrycode="BE")  # Narrow by Belgium (BE)
print(len(rf_be))

rf_nl = rf_be.narrow(language="dutch")  # Further narrow by Dutch language
print(len(rf_nl))

rf_reset = rf_nl.broaden(countrycode="BE", language="dutch")  # Remove filters
print(len(rf_reset))  # Back to original count

```

### Explanation

-   **`narrow(**params)`** → Adds filters and narrows results.
-   **`broaden(*keys, **params)`** → Removes filters and broadens results.
-   **`len(rf)`** → Returns the number of stations matching the filters.
-   **`rf.result`** → Stores the list of filtered stations.

### Example Output

```sh
53768  # Total available stations
398    # Stations in Belgium
108    # Dutch-speaking stations in Belgium
53768  # Reset back to all stations

```
