Make your own Discord music bot
Your bot joins your voice channel and plays Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, and Deezer links, or any song name you type. Switch on the Music module for 18 ready-made /music commands, or make your own with music blocks. You set it up in BotGhost, the no-code Discord bot maker, and we host the bot.
PremiumMusic needs Premium on the bot, which is $12.50 a month. Making the bot is free.
Play Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, and Deezer links
Members paste a link or type a song's name. The bot takes these links:
- Spotify Song, album, and playlist links. A song name you type is searched on Spotify too.
- Apple Music Song, album, and playlist links from music.apple.com.
- SoundCloud Track and playlist links.
- Deezer Track, album, and playlist links.
- A playlist or album link adds up to 250 songs. You can set a lower limit.
- New songs go to the end of the queue, play next, or go in at a spot you pick.
- Add the Music Smart Search option to a command and Discord suggests up to 10 songs while members type.

The Music module in the docsBuild your own music commands from 19 blocks
The Music Actions blocks are in the Discord bot command builder, next to every other block. That means a music command can check a member's roles, read what they typed, or post buttons, the same as any command you make.
- 1Create Music Player joins the member's voice channel, or one you choose, and can set the starting volume and loop.
- 2Add to Queue takes a song name or a link.
- 3Play Queue starts the music.
After that, there are blocks to skip to any spot in the queue, go back a song, seek, loop, shuffle, change the volume, or search for songs without queueing them.

Music events and now playing messages
The builder has 33 music events, so your bot can post a message when a song starts, when the queue runs out, or when someone changes the volume. Music variables put the song, the artist, and the queue into that message.

Make a now playing card with the queue
Put music variables into a Send or Edit a Message block and the bot fills them in each time it runs. Use them in a command of your own, or in one of the /music commands after pressing Edit. The bot builds this card from these variables:
{music_current_track_title}the song playing now{music_current_track_author}its artist{music_position_formatted_with_duration}how far in it is, like 1:12/3:41{music_loop_mode_text}Off, Track, or Queue{music_queue_formatted_list}a numbered list of what’s next, with each length{music_queue_length}how many songs are waiting{music_queue_total_duration_formatted}how long they all last
