Gaming Music Playlist on YouTube

So, now on YouTube they have these things called playlists, which are apparently compilations of videos. So, if you click on a playlist, you can let all the videos in the playlist play one after the other with a few commercial ads thrown in between videos occasionally...although I recently encountered a Sade playlist that had no commercials...though that might not have been a playlist in the traditional sense...it seemed to be a single video, about 1 1/2 hours in length, comprised of a bunch of Sade songs.

In any event, I always thought it would be awesome to have a gaming music playlist. Does anybody know how to make playlists on Youtube? Alternately, would anyone be willing to collaborate in creating some gaming playlists?

I think it would be awesome to just go to YouTube, search for "[insert your UserID here]'s D&D Playlist" and click "Play," and then just have cool Dungeons-and-Dragony music playing in the background for hours during your gaming session...

...or cool StarWarsy music playing for your SW game...

...or cool [insert genre here] music playing for your [insert genre here] game.

Of course, part of the problem with a project of this sort is that there is little agreement on what constitutes "cool music" for a particular genre. For D&D, some people like death metal, some people like creepy music, and so on...although online versions of games often have good "standard" music for the genre, the problem is that clips of this stuff on YouTube are only about a few minutes long. That's why I think stringing together a few hours of such videos in a playlist would be helpful.

Here's something that kind of approaches what I'm talking about...or this.

Thoughts?

Yep.

My wife with some help from myself and another gent, wrote a theatre-style, live action game based on the musical works of Warren Zevon (basically, a jukebox-larp). So, Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner, London Werewolves, and such appear.

It is a 30-player, 4 hour game. We don't expect most of the players to be terribly familiar with Zevon, so we have a playlist we've passed out to them, so they can hear the things the game is based upon.
