In iOS 18.4, there's a new Ambient Music option that can be added to Control Center. There are four different sound categories, including Sleep, Chill, Productivity, and Wellbeing.
Each category can be added to Control Center separately, and tapping one plays a random selection of sounds or music from that particular category.
You can't choose what's playing from Control Center, but if you play a category and then tap into the Dynamic Island at the top or access the Now Playing widget, you can skip songs and see the name of what's currently playing.
There is no dedicated app for the feature, but Apple has a hidden app that provides more control through skipping songs.
Ambient Music is available on both the iPhone and the iPad in iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4.

we need a real graphic equalizer, not presets
we need the eq to save settings independently for each bluetooth or output device.
we need swipe controls for skipping
(would also be nice to have a next track button in maps)
these are pretty basic things that others have been doing for decades at this point
Is it licensed / commercial music we would know of or ?
Did they make the music in house?
