- Music
Browse your music by picking an article, choosing an album and get straight to the track you want, with three now playing options (play now, play next, queue track) control of your music is right at your finger tips.

- Gesture Pad
Built in gesture pad: for when you need to step outside the comfort zone of your media library, adjust some settings with Kodi or get past a language selection menu. Swipe to navigate, tap to select, double tap to go tap, tap and hold for a context menu.

- Apple Watch
If reaching for your iPhone seems like too much effort, take advantage of the Apple Watch app. Browse and play your Movies, TV Shows and Music collection directly from your Apple Watch. Once playing, make adjustments to the position (via plus/minus 30 second buttons), change the volume and play/pause.
