Discord music bot with live radio
Music and live radio in your voice channels, with a queue and a button player, free on every server.
Dispatch.IO plays music and live radio in your voice channels. Join a voice channel, type /play with a track name or a link, and the bot joins you and starts playing. Add more tracks and they line up in a queue you can view, shuffle, clear or loop. For radio, /play-radio suggests up to 25 stations as you type and streams the one you pick.
While music plays, the bot keeps a single player message up to date in the channel: track, artist, progress, volume, who requested it and what is queued, with Previous, Pause/Play, Next and Stop buttons. To stop members from cutting each other's music, only the person who requested the current track can control it while they are in the voice channel. Administrators can always step in.
The player is free on every server, with no Premium plan and no limit. There is nothing to configure in /config or on the dashboard: add Dispatch.IO, give it Connect and Speak, and type /play. When everyone leaves the voice channel, the bot stops and leaves on its own.

Main commands
FAQ
How do I play music in a Discord voice channel?
Add Dispatch.IO to your server, join a voice channel and type /play followed by a track name or a link. The bot joins your channel and starts playing, or adds the track to the queue if something is already on. It needs the Connect and Speak permissions in that voice channel.
Is the Dispatch.IO music bot free?
Yes. Music and radio are free on every server and work the same on every plan. Premium plans don't change anything about the player.
How do I play a live radio station on Discord?
Use /play-radio and start typing the station name: Discord suggests up to 25 matching stations. Pick one and the bot streams it live in your voice channel. Radio has no queue and no pause; stop it with /stop or the Stop radio button.
Can I paste a YouTube link in /play?
No. YouTube links are disabled and the bot replies that they are not accepted. Search for the track by its name instead: /play suggests up to 10 results as you type.
When does the music bot leave the voice channel?
As soon as no member is left in its voice channel, the bot stops the music and leaves right away. When the queue simply ends, it stays connected and waits for another /play. You can disconnect it at any time with /stop.
