It would be great to have an app that saved tracks, albums, stations etc. for quick access. Maybe it shows the currently playing URI and allows you to create a switch associated with it. Just thinking out loud here.

VLC Player can do that. Maybe not exactly in the way you're thinking, but you do have control over it via Hubitat with the VLC Thing driver.
You can do this with RM (at least if you use Sonos).
In the log screen when a track, or station, plays there is a displayed URI. You can then copy that URI
There is a method to create a custom command in RM that allows you to paste the URI as a custom command.
From there you could create a series of virtual switches along the lines of this.
If Switch 1 turns on
THEN
Play URI for Pandora Rock Station (or Spotify Playlist).
I do something like this now for a rule in a room that turns on the speaker to Classical music on motion.
I had an app that did something very similar on Smartthings that I have tried on a few occasions to port over. There were quite a few roadblocks many of which have been fixed by the hubitat team over the update cycle. I haven't had time to revisit recently but if you are familiar with groovy code you might get some inspiration from my unfinished code.
When functional, it searches the event list of your chosen speaker and extract the uri's in a list you can then use to assign to a virtual buttons. HE changed the information stored in the event list making the uri extraction hit or miss depending on the type of station that was recently played.
Don't get caught up with the virtual container portion as it might get confusing. This is simply a way to have all the "virtual stations" organized under one parent device. I hate having virtual devices scattered everywhere so I built a container to keep them grouped...forgive my OCD.
Hopefully this is helpful to you.
Here's a more up to date version that account for some of the HE updates....again...very unfinished:

}This is exactly what I had in mind. I tried the updated code, def version() {return "0.1.20180530"}, and it wouldn't load, throwing several errors. The older code on github loaded fine but does not find any stations.
This is really good though, anything I can do to help push this forward let me know.
It won't work as is because it is tied to a couple of custom virtual devices that are not included above (they too are a work in progress 
).
It will require a lot of trial and error to bend this to work with HE. This and many other WAF projects that I had working in ST are on my to do list but don't know when I can jump down this rabbit hole again. I posted the code so you or others can grab snippets to make it work for you. PM me any specific questions or errors you have and I'll do my best to explain what the app is doing.
Looking a little closer, the code was posted twice. The new code loads fine but still doesn't find any playlists, do they need to currently be playing? Also, will these virtual devices be available in dashboards?
They are momentary buttons..so yes.
Any chance you’ve had time to work on your app?
Lol, you must have read my Virtual Container posts and saw references to "Playlists".
Yeah, I've been working on it but as it has always been...it's a time drain. I have a skeleton in place but I'm having trouble getting consistent results from the Sonos speaker event log. There's way more stuff to filter out than ST had. Making it user friendly has been really challenging.
Now that I have the Virtual Container code portion built out, I can refocus on this a bit more.
I hope to have something to test out soon.
You mean the Hubitat Logs, right? I am seeing all the event corresponding to my Sonos speaker, but not a single URI. Any help would be appreciated on how to identify URIs.

How do you find the URI for Pandora stations? I see you mention this is in the log screen when using Sonos, but I dont have Sonos.
I've been trying to figure out how to start a station and cast it to Chromecast audio group.
