This bot plays ambient lo-fi music automatically in your Discord voice channel. It starts with shuffle, continues playing without stopping, and can be controlled via simple commands.

• Python 3.10 or newer
• FFmpeg installed (`sudo apt install ffmpeg`)
• A Discord Bot Token
• MP3 files placed in the `music/` directory
• Optional: systemd for autostart on boot

• Clone or copy the bot code into a directory, e.g. `/var/www/mbot/`
• Create a `music/` folder and add your MP3 tracks
• Install required Python packages:

`pip install discord`

Open `bot.py` and replace: `bot.run(“your-bot-token-here”)` with your actual Discord bot token.

To start manually: `python3 ./bot.py`

Or set up a systemd service:

sudo adduser musikbot
sudo chown -R musikbot:musikbot /var/www/mbot

Autostart on server start

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/musicbot.service

[Unit]
Description=Discord Music Bot
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /var/www/mbot/bot.py
WorkingDirectory=/var/www/mbot
Restart=always
User=musikbot

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Enable and start the service: `sudo systemctl daemon-reload` `sudo systemctl enable musicbot` `sudo systemctl start musicbot`

• `!join` – Bot joins your voice channel and starts shuffle playback
• `!leave` – Bot leaves the voice channel
• `!list` – Lists all available MP3 files
• `!play [filename]` – Plays a specific file or a random one if none is given
• `!next` – Skips to the next track
• `!shuffle` – Shuffles the playlist and starts playback
• `!pause` – Pauses playback
• `!resume` – Resumes playback
• `!stop` – Stops playback
• `!help` – Displays all available commands

• The bot plays continuously without stopping after each track
• Volume is set to 100%
• Make sure the bot has “Speak” permissions in the voice channel
• Works best in standard voice channels (not Stage Channels)
