I’m experimenting with the Music Assistant add-on but it seems to be early days for that project. Could be awesome though as it combines media libraries from services (e.g. YouTube music) and self-hosted things (e.g. Navidrome) and plugs them into the Home Assistant ecosystem.
I’ve been using Neo Launcher for a while as a Nova replacement and it’s pretty good. Both of those features are included as well as things like shortcut actions when you double tap or swipe on the home screen.
