[Enhancement] Switching playlists based on biome/dimension/structure/situation.

I want to start by saying that this is by far the best music mod I have ever used, and I rarely go without it, even adding it in modpacks that dont have it (or have music of their own). I do think it can be even better, though.

Vazkii's Ambience mod, and its various successors, had a feature that allowed for contextual music to be played. This could be triggered by being in a certain biome, riding a mount, fighting a large group of mobs or a boss, the time of day, or even being in a specific structure, and more things as well. My main problem with that mod is that it requires MP3 files, and has an extremely difficult setup process, at least for me. I don't want to have to worry about finding mp3 for the songs I want, and having to spend a few days trying to get it to work.

If a small button could be added next to the playlist for configuring the context in which it should be switched to, this music mod would be the undisputed champion. the source code for the original Ambience mod is open, so you could try to reverse engineer/cannibalize that code to make this work, but I hardly know anything about modding so maybe not.

I just figured I should send this idea your way to see what you think. I once again must say that this is one of my favorite music mods, keep up the good work!
