Description

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

Music videos from youtube are often selected as the top result, containing long non-music sections.

### What is your ideal solution to the problem?

"SponsorBlock is an open-source crowdsourced browser extension and open API for skipping sponsor segments in YouTube videos", see [https://sponsor.ajay.app/](https://sponsor.ajay.app/). In particular, one of the categories is non-music sections of music videos, see [https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/Music:_Non-Music_Section](https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/Music:_Non-Music_Section).

In other words, it would use crowdsourced data as a means of choosing segments of the track to skip such that only music containing segments are played.

It seems like a really nice fit for this project.

### How would this feature be used?

I would suggest an opt-in setting to enable the feature, perhaps that could be activated by DJ users as a bot command. Perhaps additionally there could also be a command that can be used during playback to skip a specific segment as it's playing.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the proposed SponsorBlock API and the bot’s existing playback and command entry points; no file or test is identified in the issue. Done would require an agreed opt-in setting or command flow and reliable skipping of non-music segments during playback.
