## What it is
Muse is a self-hosted Discord music bot written in TypeScript, designed for small to medium-sized Discord servers. It supports livestreams, seeking, local caching, Spotify URL conversion, and multiple guilds per instance.

## Use cases
- play music in my discord server
- self-hosted discord music bot
- play spotify playlists in discord
- stream youtube audio to a voice channel
- run a music bot for a small friend group server
- discord bot that plays livestreams

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted music bot you control without vote-to-skip
- you need Spotify playlist/album/artist conversion
- you run one or a few small-to-medium Discord guilds
- you want caching and volume ducking features

## When to avoid
- you need a managed/hosted bot with no server setup
