Bots are already familiar for many of us. These convenient programs facilitate a lot of tasks, from chatting with online shops to looking for the last Ethiopian emperor at 3 a.m. Particularly, we love music bots. These API-connected guys can play songs, look for lyrics, load copyright-free music, work with audio files, and even suggest music by mood. These bots are worth a try even if you haven’t used them before.
Overall, the most popular music bots work with two products: Discord and Telegram. Let’s review five of the best tools for each messaging platform right here!
Connecting Bots to Your Discord Server
Discord is arguably one of the most famous chatting apps right now. Put simply, it’s a VoIP software that supports both texts and calls. Another great option of Discord is its servers.

So, here’s a quick algorithm on adding a music bot to a server:
1. Create a server using the + icon.
2. Name your server and the region.
3. Navigate to the chosen bot’s page.
4. Find the Add or Invite button, click it.
5. Log in to your account if you aren’t logged.
6. Choose the created server in the appeared window.
7. Pass the verification.
That’s it, you’re done. Now, the bot is active. You can use its commands to play music, change preferences, find lyrics, and so on. Hence, it’s time to look at five bots for Discord that you can start using right now.
