Playlists Music Diegetic-Music Composition Article-Feature
Music plays a large part in many campaigns and stories. For some this music might be necessary in order to set the tone of specific article. For those who make use of diegetic music (such as myself) it is even more critical to the presentation of the world. For this reason I would like to propose in article playlists.
Playlists are already available to World Anvil users through the Real World Meta Data feature, but this only allows for playlists to reference the world as a whole. If the option to include playlists and songs directly to articles was added, then the community of users on World Anvil would be able to have finer control of the way music is presented in their world. This would also allow for easier uploads if a writer took the Tolkein approach towards music, and wanted to document all of the songs that they wrote to accompany their story.
In terms of how this all could work, I believe that this system should include the option to play automatically when an article is opened, I believe that this system should allow for a mature content warning separate from the article itself, and the media player should be compatible with at least Soundcloud, Spotify, and Youtube.
Thank you for considering my proposal, and I look forward to receiving the public's verdict on this proposal.

The Team's Response
This suggestion did not reach the required number of votes during its voting period Autoplay is not an option I will be implementing at any point. Regarding playlists, why not use the spotify component to create and add them to World Anvil? In theory also you can use the Variables system to create lists and share them as you see fit - if this is an issue of me not understanding the suggestion please feel free to contact me on #developmemnt-discussion

on 2021-07-09 03:13I heavily agree, please no auto play. Even if the music is on the "calmer" side, I do not enjoy getting a startle when opening pages if I'm not expecting such things. Also, as others have said we already have article specific integration. Unless it's guild tier specific, it should be easy to use.

on 2021-07-02 21:21Music is a major plot point in the world I'm working on, and it would be so handy to have themes for people/places on their article pages in a media player. BUT I agree with the others about Autoplay - not a good way to implement it, and not accessible.

on 2021-06-23 13:32Currently, you have the ability to embed Spotify, YouTube, and SoundCloud into any article in World Anvil, not just the meta section, so that part of the request is taken care of with an existing feature. As for autoplaying, as many have said, autopaying music is such an accessbility issue.

on 2021-06-20 21:13Do not ever autoplay music. It's bad for accessibility, and it's bad for the user experience, and it will make people close the tab, or go away from your website and not return. NEVER autoplay sound. Period.

on 2021-06-20 16:24I'm pretty sure World Anvil has had autoplay requests in the past and have rejected them based on accessibility and disability issues.
