## Discussion

Use a content type like [`MusicContent`](/documentation/NowPlaying/MusicContent), [`PodcastContent`](/documentation/NowPlaying/PodcastContent), [`MovieContent`](/documentation/NowPlaying/MovieContent),
[`TVShowContent`](/documentation/NowPlaying/TVShowContent), or [`GenericContent`](/documentation/NowPlaying/GenericContent) to describe the media being played.
You can provide additional metadata using the content type’s trailing closure.

The system displays content information on the device’s Lock Screen, in Control Center,
and on connected accessories. Provide as much information as possible to ensure
compatibility with a wide range of accessories and system interfaces.
