    Federico Viticci is back with another incredible iOS Shortcut over at MacStories. This one is MusicBot, an all-in-one Apple Music assistant:


    For the past several months, I’ve been working on a shortcut designed to be the ultimate assistant for Apple Music. Called MusicBot, the shortcut encompasses dozens of different features and aims to be an all-in-one assistant that helps you listen to music more quickly, generate intelligent mixes based on your tastes, rediscover music from your library, control playback on AirPlay 2 speakers, and much more. I poured hundreds of hours of work into MusicBot, which has gained a permanent spot on my Home screen. Best of all, MusicBot is available to everyone for free.

    I’ve been playing around with this for about a week and still have barely scratched the surface of what it can do.

    This is cool but i'm not sure all of it is working for me. For example if I try to choose the "rediscover lost songs" in "smart mixes" it takes me back to the main selection menu. But maybe that only works after I listen to a bunch of stuff after downloading this and then it can make that playlist once I haven't listened to something in a while.

    This is just fantastic. I wish I could understand and use Shortcuts the way Federico does. Every time I open Shortcuts to create my own the app just intimidates the hell out of me and I quickly close it and wait for Federico/MacStories to do it for me. lol
