## What it is
MusicBot is the original Discord music bot written in Python using discord.py. It plays requested songs from YouTube and other services into Discord voice channels, with a queue system, configurable playlists, and a permission system.

## Use cases
- play music in a discord voice channel
- queue songs from youtube in discord
- self-host a discord music bot
- restrict bot commands to certain users with permissions
- stream live media into a discord voice channel
- play a fallback playlist when the queue is empty

## When to choose
- you want a battle-tested, actively maintained discord music bot in python
- you need per-user command permissions and multi-server support
- you want a bot you can self-host and configure via ini files

## When to avoid
- you need a music bot for a platform other than discord
- you want a no-code hosted solution rather than self-hosting
- you need stable live-streaming support, which is still experimental

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: chatbot, audio-processing, streaming
- domain: messaging-platforms, media, entertainment
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: discord-bot, music-bot, voice-chat, youtube, discord-py, self-hosted, automation, discord
