The purpose of the project was to create a Discord bot for convenient and high-quality music listening from audio services in a voice channel.

The project is useful as it provides an easy way for users to play music in their Discord voice channels without interruptions and with high quality.

How the project works

The bot connects to a Discord server and listens for specific commands from users in a voice channel. When a user requests a song, the bot searches for the song on supported audio services, streams the audio to the voice channel, and manages playback controls.

Algorithm and Code Examples

  1. Connecting to Discord Server
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.login('YOUR_BOT_TOKEN');
client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});
  1. Listening for Commands
client.on('message', message => {
  if (message.content === '!play') {
    // Code to play music
  }
});
  1. Playing Music
const ytdl = require('ytdl-core');
const connection = await message.member.voice.channel.join();
const dispatcher = connection.play(ytdl('YOUTUBE_VIDEO_URL', { filter: 'audioonly' }));


dispatcher.on('finish', () => {
  message.member.voice.channel.leave();
});
