How To Play a Playlist, Apple Music Station, or the Result of Any Apple Music Query Directly from the iOS Home Screen and / or Apple Watch

[MacVisionaries]

Hello Everyone,

The result of the following steps will allow you to immediately play any 
playlist, Apple Music station, or the result of any Apple Music query, 
directly from your iOS home screen and / or Apple Watch

I am assuming that you are already familiar with the basic UI of the iOS 
Shortcuts app in the latest version of iOS.

Also, in order for this to work, as I describe, you must have an Apple 
Music subscription.

Here we go:

1.
Ask Siri to play some kind of music that you know you will want to hear in 
the future.  For example, 1970s love songs, 1980s R&B Workout music, happy 
songs from the 1990s, top soft rock music from Rod Stuart, or KCBS news 
radio, etc.  It doesn’t matter just as long as the result is what you want 
to hear.  The reason for this is so that Apple music will place your 
inquiry into the recently played area of the Apple Music app.

2.
Open the Shortcuts app.

3.
Select Create Shortcut.

4.
>From the Add Action menu, select Play Music and add it to your shortcut. 
 This will be the only action in the shortcut.

5.
Place Voice Over focus on the action and swipe up until you land on “Edit, 
Play Music”, then single-finger, double-tap in order to activate this 
option.

6.
Select Home.  This will take you to the Home area of your Apple Music App 
UI, which will launch inside the Shortcuts app.

7.
In the Recently Played area, you will see your latest inquiry.  Select it. 
 Doing this will close the Apple Music UI and return you to the Shortcuts 
app.  This may take a few seconds so give it time.

8.
If you place VO focus on the single action of the shortcut, you will now 
hear VO announce the action with the name of the query you selected in the 
above step such as, “Play, 1980s music for working out.” 

Essentially, the shortcut is complete.  The next steps simply allow you to 
rename the shortcut and save it to your home screen and/or Apple Watch. 
 Understand that there are several ways to accomplish this but I’m only 
going to list what I think is the least confusing for novice shortcut 
creators.

9.
Select Done.  This will close the shortcut and place you back in a list of 
all of the shortcuts currently installed on your device.  Assuming that you 
followed the steps above, your new shortcut defaults to the name, “Play 
Music,” followed by the number of actions in the shortcut.

10.
With VO focused on your new Shortcut in the Shortcuts list area, 
single-finger swipe up until you hear, “Edit Shortcut,” and select the 
option.  This will place you back in the Shortcuts editor with the 
shortcut, in question, opened.

11.
Single-finger swipe until VO focus lands on the Done button.  Do not 
activate this button.  

12.
Swipe to the left until VO lands on, “Play Music, Actions Menu, Button.”

13.
Activate this button.  A menu will open with several useful options 
including, Share, Rename, Choose Icon, Duplicate, Move, Add to Home Screen, 
and Export File.

14.
I suggest that you first choose to rename the shortcut to the name of the 
station, playlist, etc., that describes the music the shortcut will play. 
 Once this has been done, then select the option to add the Shortcut to the 
Home screen and then you will be good to go.

Now, whenever you want to listen to the station designated in the shortcut, 
simply activate it from your IOS home screen and it will immediately begin 
to play without launching the Apple Music app.

Hi Jonathan,

I knew about that shortcut option, but as I understand it, it just creates the 
shortcut.  I was curious about how Mark got the icon on his home screen.
Cheers,

After you have done that you can do any of the functions that you can with any

1. Save to home screen
2. Define a siri command that will play the list
3. Put it in the Mac’s menu bar

You should be able to open the shortcuts app on your computer or iPhone and 
search the gallery for this if you don’t want to trust the URL.
Best wishes,

Re: Anyone Know About Ray-Ban Smart Glasses?

['Patrick Ford' via MacVisionaries]

Hi, if you go to meta.com you could read all about the Ray-Ban Maya Smart glasses. They’re also sold at Amazon. There’s a few different styles I believe three styles there are $300 with some of the colors and newer styles. go up in price to about 379 I believe but the beta site will tell you all the prices. Sent from my iPhoneOn Jun 25, 2024, at 4:02 PM, 'Eileen Scrivani ' via MacVisionaries  wrote:Hi All, Sorry if this might be a little off-topic, but I recently heard an ad for Ray-Ban Smart Glasses which seemed to indicate the glasses could take a shot and read back information/text to the wearer.

Also are they Apple compatible? Any first-hand info about them is appreciated. I’ve looked on line and it lists specs, but I’m not finding if they are helpful for a blind person. Eileen

Anyone Know About Ray-Ban Smart Glasses?

['Eileen Scrivani ' via MacVisionaries]

Hi All,

 

Sorry if this might be a little off-topic, but I recently heard an ad for
Ray-Ban Smart Glasses which seemed to indicate the glasses could take a shot
and read back information/text to the wearer. I am wondering if anyone has
these glasses and if they are a good or helpful device for a totally blind
person? Are the Ray-Ban glasses anything like the Orcam. Also are they Apple
compatible?

 

Any first-hand info about them is appreciated. I've looked on line and it
lists specs, but I'm not finding if they are helpful for a blind person.

 

Eileen

   I've not seen that happen. I do not use Dropbox often since I have 
iCloud Drive so was surprised by the dialog.
