What I miss most about those collections is that they are browser based, and when I'm programming, if I need the music to stop, or I get a call, or something, I have to go find the tab and manually stop it.
I'm trying to maintain a list of radios in .pls/.m3u format [1], so I can choose how I play them (emacs+mplayer).
- Don't like the current song? m-x kill-radio RET
- Want to store the current name of the song? m-x hit RET
Making the interface as painless as possible is part of what makes music for programming more relaxing to me. I find strange there are not more of those kinds of repos around (I haven't found them)

Sounds like you might be interested I playerctl [0]. I have shortcuts for it's play, pause, next, and previous actions. It's able to control Spotify and Firefox. And Firefox media controls work for YouTube, SoundCloud, and even the site this post is about.
