Feature Request: Parse youtube description for songs in continuous mixes

See original GitHub issue

I have noticed that many continuous mixes / albums etc you find on Youtubue contain some sort of playlist in the description that allows skipping to single tracks. See for example here. The lists always look very similar to each other, basically Time - (Artist -)? Title. Could this maybe be parsed to allow for scrobbling of single tracks in such a playlist? This is more or less loud thinking, but it would be super nice if this worked.

Just came here to finally create this very feature proposal I’ve been planning to create for years to find out it has been created 2h ago :]

This applies perhaps even more to full album videos, like e.g. this one where the format is ^Number Title Time$.

While looking for the example I accidentally stumbled upon this iconic album with admittedly nightmarish track titles and structure where proper tracklist is in the “first” comment, so any block containing timestamped links pointing to current video could be considered?

Closing this one as a duplicate of #122.
