Siri commands
NAS Player works with Siri and the Shortcuts app. The commands below work in English (the language of your iPhone and of Siri must be English). The same commands exist in the other languages of the app: German, Spanish, Italian, and French. Use the language switch at the top.
Before you start
- Open NAS Player once and wait until your song list has loaded.
- Open the Shortcuts app, tap NAS Player under App Shortcuts (or open NAS Player → Settings → “Siri and Shortcuts” and tap the Shortcuts button), and make sure the Siri switch is on. Apple lets only you switch this on; an app cannot do it for you.
- Say “Hey Siri” followed by one of the commands below.

- “Hey Siri, play <album> in NAS Player”

Tips
- Say the name of the album or artist as it is shown in the app. If Siri understands a different name, tap the result and choose the right one.
- Without a network, only songs that are downloaded to the iPhone are played.
- In the Shortcuts app you can also run the commands with a tap or add them to the Home Screen and to the Action button.
- Playing a single song by voice is not available yet.
- If Siri answers “NAS Player hasn't added support for that”, you used a different sentence. Use one of the exact patterns above (with with, in, or on before NAS Player).
