Add a Game Soundtrack Music Player

📋 Summary

Add a dedicated music player for game soundtracks inside LaunchBox and Big Box.


❗ Problem

LaunchBox can already play game music, but soundtrack support is limited compared to a full music player experience.

Users may have full albums or soundtrack collections for their games, but there is no dedicated way to browse and play multiple tracks as an album from within LaunchBox.


💡 Proposal

Add a soundtrack music player that allows users to attach multiple audio files or albums to a game.

Supported features could include:

  • Multiple tracks per game

  • Album or soundtrack folders

  • MP3, FLAC, WAV, OGG, and other common formats

  • Play, pause, next, previous, shuffle, and repeat controls

  • Track list display from the game details view

  • Optional Big Box support for controller-friendly playback


🧩 Use Cases

  • Listen to a full game soundtrack from the game details page

  • Attach OST albums to favorite games

  • Browse and play music collections in Big Box

  • Use LaunchBox as a lightweight game music library


📦 Benefits

  • Expands existing game music support

  • Makes soundtrack collections easier to enjoy

  • Adds value for users who collect game OSTs

  • Improves LaunchBox as a media-rich game library


⚠️ Considerations

This should build on existing game music support rather than replace it. A first version could focus on multiple tracks per game and simple playback controls before expanding into broader music library features.
