What the Bot Does
Simple Discord Music Bot handles the full music lifecycle — from joining a voice channel to cleaning up embeds after the last track ends. Key capabilities include:- Lavalink audio backend — offloads decoding and streaming to a dedicated Java node, keeping the Python process lightweight
- YouTube & SoundCloud search — find tracks by name or paste a direct URL
- Playlist support — enqueue entire playlists in a single
/playcommand - Paginated queue browser — session-locked interactive embed with Prev/Next buttons, showing 10 tracks per page
- Live Now Playing embeds — auto-updating embed that edits in place as tracks change, then self-deletes when the queue ends
- Presence sync — bot status reflects the current track title, artist, and live timestamps
Getting Started
Lavalink must be running before you start
bot.py. The bot connects to the node during the on_ready event, and playback commands will fail if the connection is unavailable.
