Discord is a vast platform that allows you to create communities, message people, and keep in touch with your friends. You can use it to chat with people with text messaging, voice, and even video calls. It is a very versatile piece of software that can be used on your mobile device or computer. One thing people love to do is listen and share music with each other, which can be done in a variety of different ways. Discord has bots that you can use to play music through the platform via the voice channels. If you want to use one of these bots, we’ve curated a list of the best available options that are currently working right now!
Discord Music bots are a touchy subject due to copyright laws, and in recent times the incredibly popular Groovy and Rythm Music Bots were shut down due to receiving legal notices. Be wary if you are going to purchase premium services with these bots, because it is possible that they can be shut down if they are doing similar things to the banned bots.

We’ve tried a bunch of different Music Bots for Discord, and this list contains the best ones from that process. A lot of these do the same thing, so you can’t go wrong with the majority of the ones on the list. Certain bots are more specialized and play specific genres, which should only be used if you are a fan of that music type!

Chip Music Bot
Chip is a great Discord Music Bot because it is very simple to use and if you are new to these bots, you can easily add it and start using it right away. You have a lot of basic commands, and a great search that can find music from Spotify. Due to the removal of things like Groovy and Rythm, they have removed the ability to use YouTube links via the bot. This is a good thing, because it means that this bot will likely stick around and not be taken down.
Chip does have a premium service, which will allow you to adjust things like the volume, bass boost, speed, pitch, and various other nice to have advanced features.

Aqua Music Bot
A pretty simple Music Bot that will give you access to quite a few sought after features as long as you vote for them. One of these is the 24/7 command, so the bot won’t leave the voice channel when music isn’t being played. Autoplay is another of these commands that you will be able to use as long as you vote for the bot on Top.gg.

Mee6 Bot
If you are looking for a bot that pretty much does everything you could just about want on Discord then you might want to go with Mee6. This is not just a music bot, it has a ton of different features that you can use. It can be used to moderate users that enter into your server, you can add reaction roles, custom commands, and people in your chat can be given levels based on the amount they participate on your server. What’s nice about Mee6 is that you can edit a lot of the capabilities from the mee6 website. This is as easy as checking and unchecking the features you want to use!
I will say that the music portion of Mee6 is a bit more temperamental than bots that are exclusively for music. If you don’t plan on using the other features that this bot provides, you might want to stick with a music only option.

- /add – Add a song to the queue

How to Use a Discord Music Bot
