Samsung Galaxy phones are some of the most popular smartphones on the market, and they come with a lot of features and options. One of the most popular features on Samsung Galaxy phones is music playback. You can easily access music shortcuts on your phone by using the Music app. To start playing music, open the Music app and select a song from your library. Then, use one of the shortcut keys to play that song: for example, press “Home” to play all songs in your library, or “End” to end playback. To add a new song to your library, open the Music app and select it from the list of songs. Then, use one of the shortcut keys to add it to your playlist: for example, press “Menu” to add a new album or playlist, or “Up” and “Down” to change tracks in an existing playlist. If you want to listen offline without internet connection, you can use Samsung’s AirPlay feature. To start playing music offline on Samsung Galaxy phones using AirPlay: first open AirPlay and enable it in Settings > AirPlay > On/Off . Then connect your phone to an airplay enabled speaker or TV and play music from your phone’s storage using AirPlay.
Samsung Galaxy phones have a “Media Output” menu that allows you to quickly switch where the audio should be playing—phone speakers, Bluetooth earbuds, etc. This menu also has a sport where you can add app shortcuts. This allows you to access these apps directly from the Quick Settings menu.

First, swipe down twice from the top of the screen to fully expand the Quick Settings. Now tap the three-dot menu icon and select “Quick Panel Layout.”
Select “Device controls and Media output buttons” and choose “Show Always” or “Show When Quick Panel Expanded.”
Now, when you expand the Quick Settings, you’ll see a “Media Output” button. Tap it.
This menu will show any currently playing media and some devices. At the top is a bar that says “Add App Shortcuts,” that’s what you want to select.
Now you can select up to six shortcuts to add. Tap the back arrow when you’re done.
The shortcuts will now be available in the top bar, tapping them will open the app.
That’s it! This is a nice little trick to put your Android music and podcast apps in an easy-to-access location. You don’t even need to use the media output features. It’s essentially a little folder for audio apps that can be accessed anywhere.
