“For the past several months, I’ve been working on a shortcut designed to be the ultimate assistant for Apple Music,” Federico Viticci writes for MacStories:
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 created MusicBot for two reasons: I wanted to speed up common interactions with the Music app by using custom actions in the Shortcuts app; and I also wanted to build a series of “utilities” for Apple Music that could be bundled in a single, all-in-one shortcut instead of dozens of smaller, standalone ones.

Not so sure about installing an untrusted shortcut…
I don’t know why I trust my own shortcuts.
I got that warning but don’t know how to change the setting to allow it’s installation, if permitted at all
