Otto's Auto-playing Jukebox

On some browsers, the jukebox doesn't auto-start. If so, click the jukebox's start-arrow to get started.
After the first random song completes, another randomly-chosen song should reliably auto-play.

If you don't like what's playing, just use the 'Play' button below the song of your choice.
Or, for a randomly chosen new song, click on the progress-bar-slider and move it near the end of the currently-playing song.
As songs play, note: Currently-playing song's title-bar background turns GOLD...all previously-played songs get 'GRAYed-out.'

[ Geek alert: Our random song-selector is NON-duplicating...i.e. all songs will be played before any are repeated. ]
[ Geek alert: Some songs have NO captions or 'burned-in' captions, so the 'CC' button doesn't function for those songs. ]
[ Geek alert: A number of songs have 'silent spots' on front or back. That's from YouTube-uploader's sloppy video work. ]

If you'd rather listen on a blue-tooth headset or speaker, simply "pair" it with this device (phone / tablet / PC)

I've always hated seeing the stupid pop-up ads that YouTube (Google) injects into their embeds.
I finally found an 'ad-blocker' that can stop the vast majority of in-browser advertisements!
Just go to the Google 'play-store' and get and install a Chrome-browser extension named "uBlock Origin'.

[ The last row above, with the 'Repeat' and 'Exclude' buttons, is the proposed layout for the two new features under construction. ]

New proposed feature: We will REPEAT (aka 'loop') any song you wish to REPEAT
New proposed feature: We will remember any selected songs that you wish to EXCLUDE (skip)
[ We will store identity of repeated and excluded songs as 'COOKIES', onto your device (phone/tablet/computer) ]
(NOTE: Both features are still under construction!)

Ok, I added VTT-based lyrics to two local MP3 audio files..songs by Don Henley, of the "Eagles"

But the lyrics here are stationary, and I wanted to have them scrolling up from bottom to top.

PROBLEM: Implementing scrolling, via the "scroll" option in a VTT-Region, does NOT work. (sigh)

[ See the chart at bottom of the VTTRegion API documentation ]

Money-grubbers at YouTube have removed many of Don Henley's songs, so I put local MP3 copies here on my site, as payback.
[ I decided to add and display lyrics for them too...so, I cut/pasted lyrics from the Internet, and created VTT caption files. ]

====== Bob_Dylan - Visions of Johanna ( from his 1966 "Blonde on Blonde" album ) ======
