Music System

High-quality music playback with Lavalink

🎵 What is the Music System?

The music system lets Modora play music in your Discord voice channels. Think of it like a DJ bot - members can request songs, and Modora will play them for everyone in the voice channel to hear.

It works with YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, and many other platforms. Just tell Modora what song you want, and it will find and play it!

How to Set Up Music (Step-by-Step)

Follow these simple steps to get music working in your server:

01

Click on 'Music' in the left sidebar menu

03

Enable Music

Turn on the music system by clicking the enable switch

04

Set DJ Role (Optional)

Choose which role can control music (skip, pause, etc.). If you don't set this, anyone can control music.

05

Choose Music Channels (Optional)

Select which channels music commands can be used in. Leave empty to allow music commands everywhere.

06

Test It Out!

Settings Explained

Here's what each setting does and when you might want to use it:

DJ Role

If you set a DJ role, only people with that role can pause, skip, or stop music. Everyone else can still add songs to the queue. This is useful if you want to prevent people from skipping songs constantly.

Music Channels

Limit where music commands can be used. For example, you might only want music commands in a #music channel. If you leave this empty, music commands work everywhere.

Default Volume

How loud the music starts at (0-100%). Most people use 70-80% for good quality without distortion.

Max Queue Length

How many songs can be in the queue at once.

Tips & Best Practices

Tip

Use search terms instead of URLs for faster results - the bot will automatically find the best match

Tip

Create a dedicated DJ role to prevent users from skipping songs or clearing the queue

Tip

Keep volume at 70-80% for best quality - going higher may cause distortion

Tip

Use loop queue mode for continuous background music

Tip

Playlist URLs work great! Add an entire YouTube or Spotify playlist at once

Common Questions

⚠️ Important:

Music requires the bot to be in a voice channel with you. Make sure Modora has "Connect" and "Speak" permissions in your voice channels. You can check this in Discord by right-clicking the voice channel → Edit Channel → Permissions.
