Is there a way to use a time/schedule-based auto-skip to "play next track"?

I regularly use radio stations in my play lists, mixed with both regular local albums/songs and/or other radio streams, which are considered "continuous tracks". I also like to shuffle radios or genres to break up monotony, but I have to do it manually.

For instance, if I listen to an alt rock radio, programming can be repetitve (some internet radios have short playlists on a loop), so I'd like to be able to auto-rotate between various other alt rock radios, or other genres, etc.  every 15 minutes for instance?

Similarily, is there a feature that allows scheduling/auto-skipping to a different genre based on the time? Ie have the playlist play genre category: jazz in the morning, classical in the afternoon, etc.? You could auto-DJ your own local radio station with a different genre every hour etc.

No, this is not a thing in MB.  Maybe you could make a plugin to do it? I don't know. But it doesn't exist at the moment.
