Music via Control Center

(tap Z to zoom image)

see the revised version here

This tweak proposes the addition of two new buttons to Control Center—one on either side of the music playback controls—enabling instant access to Apple's Music.app (left) and the user's most recently used third-party music app (right).

In this case the latter is Spotify, but it could be Pandora, Beats, Rdio, SoundCloud, iHeartRadio, etc.

Since its introduction in iOS 7, Control Center has conveniently provided quick access to frequently-used settings and apps, as well as music playback controls for both the iOS-native Music app and third-party music apps.

With the launch of Apple Music just a few hours away, I thought it would be a good idea to provide users even quicker, easier access to the new Music app and MUSIC service.
