Music really creates a linking feel to your game. But finding music is a pain. So yeah I would like a Spotify extension. Here are some blocks that could come:

You can use it to play a list of songs in a playlist.

Note: If the song contains curse words then you will not be able to select the song or play it.

Let me know if you have any thoughts.

and how would it be detected that a song contains curse words?
not to mention i'd assume ST would need spotify to agree with them having this

The same way explicit filter works on Alexa.

The only other issue is that Spotify has a Premium tier, but Scratch would let you access it for free.

Problems:
1. Spotify has to agree with this
2. How could it detect swears?

so you're gonna use a method that ST has no access to?
theres no way you can use the same explicit filter as alexa, as google didn't make it open sourced nor did they publish any articles on how it works (atleast from what I can find)

This would be problematic

Scratch would either have to play ads in addition to Spotify music, which would be questionable, or they would give free access to the Premium tier, which would result in Spotify taking Scratch out to a nice court case on the basis of infringement

Yes, this would have many many problems

Why not just upload a sound into a project?

Yeah, that's the easiest workaround

Given these 2 things, it will most likely not work.
