Jukebox ideas?

I'm still learning my way around Roll20, and so far, it's absolutely awesome!  But I have a couple of questions on whether a couple of things are already possible, or if it would be possible to implement them within the current structure of the application. First off, I love the jukebox feature!  But one thing that would make the jukebox a LOT easier to use would be if the music were categorized, first by genre, and then perhaps by mood.  I've been building my own playlists for years, and it's really handy for the GM to be able to filter large music libraries to shorten preparation time.  It would be great to avoid techno music while building a fantasy adventure, for example.  With the current jukebox, the GM has to actually listen to all of the potential songs before deciding to add them to their play list.  Additionally, it would be great if there were categories, such as: Combat; Spooky, Suspenseful, Travel, Tavern, Nightclub, etc.  It would be great if GM's could create their own categories in the jukebox window so they could organize their music. Secondly, I was wondering if there were a way to create shortcuts on the maps themselves to specific songs?  It would be awesome if you could create an object on the map and then attach a particular piece of music to it.  Then the GM would have a button right on the map that they could just click to have the right music playing at the right time in their game. That would save the GM some time in the heat of the game, and it would also ensure that the GM didn't forget to cue the music at an important moment of their game.  If they could just click on something on the map and have the music start, it would be easier than having to remember to go to the jukebox tab and find the right piece of music. I fully understand that music isn't that important to most groups, and just having some music available is more than adequate for most groups.  However, for those of us who feature music and sound effects as an important part of the storytelling process, it would be wonderful to have a few tools available to make using music within Roll20 a little easier and better organized. :)

First, Roll20's music service is Soundcloud. You might be able to more easily find what you are looking for if you go to soundcloud and search their resources. Then you can come back to Roll20 and quickly search for the music you found.  Second, I am afraid that is not a current feature. Perhaps if you suggest it and enough people vote on it the Devs will consider it.  Note, these questions were probably more appropriate for Help and Support so I decided to answer them as if they were in that forum. :) - Gauss

+1. I love the soundcloud-feature but I too would like to have a feature where you could sort it. Adding some tags would be great or be able to have categories.

+1 on being able to sort the songs in the Jukebox into personal lists. That way people can just create smaller playlists, give them names and put the desired music in them. Also thanks for the advice on checking out Soundcloud.com itself. The genres are seperated into quite some neat lists to check through.
