I had to checkout your Git after this awesome reply. Gotta love Hacker News.

I had a cool vision for “tag play” … I visualize mini RFID records on a turn table that tell Roku what to play.

DJs have timecoded vinyl records that do something like this, even allowing the DJ to scratch the mp3 that is being played.

Serato is digital pretend scratching. Might as well use a DJ controller. Real scratching requires a proper tt and skill like Mix Master Mike. Hell, I have 2 Pioneer DL-5 and a Pioneer DJM-600, but these tts aren't good for scratching because of their straight arms, they're good for gapless playback. https://youtu.be/58Y--XTIRZ8

So what you’re saying is, if you can’t beat em, join em? /s

I’m actually a bit relieved they have you on the team. Considering what they (Google) know about us all.
