Bots are digital, automated programs that act autonomously. Nowadays, chatbots, social bots, and web crawlers are a part of our everyday life online - they improve the performance of search engines, help with customer service, and serve a variety of purposes in social networking apps like Discord. Special music bots make it possible for users to play music during a chat or stream.

Discord music bots look just like normal chat users, but their only purpose is to play your favourite music. You can make playlists and choose music using searches in the form of bot commands or pasted links (i.e. to YouTube or Spotify). The bot looks for the music online and plays it in the Discord channel. If you’ve created your own Discord server, you can use a music bot to make sure that the right music is always playing for all users and/or that users can make spontaneous music requests. This makes it the ideal tool for listening parties or parallel gaming streams on a Minecraft server.

There’s a wide variety of Discord music bots online. We’ll introduce you to four popular bots to help make your decision easier.

Rythm bot is the most popular Discord music bot and is used on almost 20 million servers. It retrieves music requested via bot command and song link from various online sources and then plays it on the Discord server.

Due to its numerous extras and premium features, the Groovy bot is one of the most popular Discord music bots. Songs are added by users via links, then the bot retrieves the music from streaming services and creates a song queue for the listening party in the voice channel.

The Hydra music bot is very user friendly and has its own channel with song requests and playlists. It’s especially well suited to Discord beginners.

Similar to Hydra, Octave is a slimmed down music bot with clear, beginner-friendly features for playing music.

Step 5: The music bot will now appear as a normal user in your channel. In the bot instructions, you’ll find the commands for activating it and playing music. In Hydra, you can enter the command ‘.help’ to read more about the commands and features.
