I felt really smart after I made a fancy Shortcut that did complex playlist generation based on rules and whatnots.
replyOf course, adding music to a playlist broke a couple of updates down the line and, as far as I'm aware, still doesn't work properly several years later.
(I moved to Marvis Pro[0] because it has reasonably complex smart playlists that just about mimic what I was doing with my generator except they're transient and not saved as mine were. Win some, lose some.)

This is what prevents me from putting any effort in to shortcuts. I have zero confidence in Apple respecting my time by committing to compatibility or even just not breaking things. The constant feature churn from new PM’s tearing down Chesterton’s fence to make way for their own career ambitions makes Apple user hostile.
