<h1>Basic NFC Music Cards for iOS</h1>
<p>I had a pack of NFC cards and decided it was the perfect time to create Music Cards. I do not have a "music setup."
So, I did not have to ensure this could work with any device. I settled with using Shortcuts personal Automation.</p>
<h2>Designing the Template</h2>
<p>I tried measuring the card's dimensions with the in-built Measure app, but it was off by a few mm. </p>

<p>After measuring with a scale, I decided on a simple template I made in Apple Pages.</p>

<h2>Creating the Automation</h2>
<p>I created a personal automation in the Shortcuts app which got triggered when a particular NFC card was scanned, ask playback destination and play the album/playlist.</p>
