Shortcuts and Widgets

Cha-cha-cha-changes!

In the new release of MusicRoom two big features I really wanted to have myself. And since I am the biggest user of the app right now, I decided to build them both ๐ŸŽ‰

Widget support

MusicRoom now contains a widget that lets you show a room on your homescreen. Widget

Shortcut support

MusicRoom now supports three shortcuts. The first one is “Play room”. You can use it to play a room with a certain name. So you could play a room depending on the weather outside. I use it myself for when I am in the car with my daughter, a shortcut that triggers a room with our music.

The second shortcut plays a random item from the library. And since MusicRoom only contains music that you have added it might give you a refreshing listen.

The last shortcut lets you add music from an apple music url to a certain room. I use this one to create a shortcut that I use in share panels to add music to a room called “๐Ÿ“ฅ Inbox”. For example when I see an artist released something new in the MusicHarbor
