Allow playlist management for DJ/Admin

Currently it is only available for owner. I would like it so that DJ role can use it too.

I support this. this would make the playlists actually matter. I'm the owner of my discord server, but a good friend of mine (Admin on the server) hosted the music bot, so he's the owner of it, and i would love to be able to at least add and edit the playlists w/out having to ask him to do it every time.

You could potentially sync the Playlists folder with Google Drive if hosting on windows, or use FTP if you're using Linux?

Hey, just saw this request, I'd fully support it too for community curated playlists. I would like for certain server roles to be able to append to playlists, similar to the "setdj" command

Part of the reason this is still on-hold is because it could be considered a security issue for someone other than the owner to be modifying data on the host machine. I would highly recommend setting up a youtube playlist that multiple people can edit, and then putting the youtube playlist link (not a watch link) into a playlist.

That is a good point, but I wonder if it would be reasonable to make it an advanced function with a disclaimer, and disabled by default in a way only the owner can enable it? Maybe with a recommendation to enable that function only when running inside of a suitable sandbox/container?

That is a good workaround though. I'm going to be using it next time I need to.
