Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Youtube provides a "sign in to continue" message which in turn leads the song to not play

What is your ideal solution to the problem?

Making users able to set the default playback to soundcloud would make it so users are able to type in the song name instead of scsearch:song name

How would this feature be used?
  1. set the default playback to soundcloud via a command or changing config file
  2. join a voice channel
  3. put in .play
  4. Done!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the configuration handling and the .play command's search and playback flow, then determine how a default SoundCloud source could be configured without requiring the scsearch: prefix. Done means the setting can be changed through a command or configuration file and .play song name uses it.
