Jukebox Suggestion

I really like the jukebox functionality. I was wondering if you could either: * Tie into ambient-mixer.com so we could put a URL of a saved mix (like <a href="http://environment-other.ambient-mixer.com/the-dark-cave" rel="nofollow">http://environment-other.ambient-mixer.com/the-dark-cave</a> )and have it play via the Roll20 jukebox. or * Allow us to upload an MP3 file to play in the Jukebox. (This could count towards our upload limit, of course.) Currently we have to upload the MP3 to SoundCloud, then hope it shows up in the Jukebox search engine. or * Allow one of our microphones/line-in to act as a Jukebox channel. This could probably be done by having another Flash widget ask for permission for one of our microphones, and then we could select the mic/line-in that we aren't talking into, such as from a CD player.
I support this. I have some awesome tracks I want to be able to play through roll 20.
Uploading to SoundCloud is now an actual option as you can paste the url to the song in the search box and it will find it if it's a public track. As of the latest (or next) update - per Riley in another thread.
An issue with Soundcloud is that it's made to support your own music - and they will pull music that you cannot prove is yours (they have done it to me twice). Sure, 75% of the music we're using is obscure enough to pass through, but it would still be nice to have another option.
This would be another situation where hooks into Dropbox ( or Google Drive, or Skydrive, or whatever ) would be beneficial. If you could link to your own mp3's in a shared Dropbox folder, you could play whatever you wanted if you wanted a specific file. Personally, I'm so sound effect challenged (even when I pick out music, I forget to play it half the time) that's it's a moot point for me, but It seems like it'd be a good fit. Plus, if everyone uses my Dropbox referral URL we all get an extra 500MB of storage! Whee! ;)

It would be great if the OP's third suggestion could be implemented. I already have some RPG playlists set up in itunes and it would be great to just hit play instead of messing around with uploading and finding music.
