Actual UI for Jukebox block

An in-game menu for the Jukebox block that allows you to alter a disc's pitch and  volume, as well as scroll through to any part of a music disc. The jukebox could also have storage for any discs the player finds, which can be placed and taken out of the jukebox at any time. The player can then also decide whether they want the current disc to stop after one play, or continue to the next disc in the list. It could also have an option to loop through one or all discs in the storage, or play them once each.

I have made the following mock-up to help visualize how this would look.
From left to right, the elements are as follows: disc storage, storage page, sound pitch modifier textbox, disc playing slot, song name box, time slider, play toggle, previous song button, stop button, next song button, "play all stored songs" toggle, loop song toggle, volume slider.

Pausing would be possible: just toggle the play button off. Pressing the stop button would stop the song entirely and force it to start over (like jukeboxes do now) should play be pressed again.

Just a quality-of-life update to an arguably underrated block.

  Looking back at this, perhaps a shuffle option could be present, and the "song name box" element could be instead turned into a "time tracking text" element which would just display the current temporal position in the song and the total duration.
  
  Also, I've considered increasing the amount of storage for discs from 2 pages to the same amount of space in a large chest. Instead of using pages to navigate storage, it would likely be another scrollbar element.
