Soundcloud (and other sources) integration

[pepf]

We should leave room in the playlist model for other song sources (such as soundcloud). Currently the song cache id == youtube id, this basically makes it impossible to integrate music from other sources..
Of course, we would also need another player, but I honestly don't think it's that difficult 💪

That's a good idea. Soundcloud also has an API we can use: http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/reference

This is however not very high on my priority list.

There's real demand for soundcloud integration, and it actually consumes
less bandwidth while listening :)

I guess we can make a second milestone for these kinds of features
(somewhere far far away ;) ).
It could also include, the vote for next option, which is also something we
have to "develop from scratch"

I found a list of music API's. Last.fm integration is also pretty cool and every major player has support for it:

I found a cool looking soundcloud player: https://www.toneden.io/player

We could take a look how they implemented the soundcloud API to get some idea's.
