LavaPlayer is a Java audio player library that loads audio tracks from sources like YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Vimeo, Twitch, local files, and HTTP URLs, and converts them into streams of Opus frames. It is designed primarily for Discord bots but works anywhere Opus output is required, handling decoding and encoding in-process with embedded native libraries for a low, predictable memory footprint.
Use cases
- play music in my Discord bot
- build a Java music bot for Discord
- stream YouTube audio from a JVM application
- convert audio files to Opus frames
- load tracks from SoundCloud, Bandcamp, or Vimeo in a bot
- add audio playback with seeking and volume control to a Discord bot
When to choose
- You are building a Discord bot that needs to play music from a variety of sources
- You need Opus-encoded audio output in a JVM application with low memory and CPU overhead
- You want one library that handles many formats (MP3, FLAC, WAV, OGG, MP4) and playlist files
- You want playback handled in-process without spawning external processes
When to avoid
- You need an end-user audio player application or GUI rather than an embeddable library
- You are not working on the JVM platform
- You need rapidly updated support for streaming sources, since upstream releases have slowed and community forks are more actively maintained
