Playing Your First Song

Once the bot is running and Lavalink is connected, you can play your first track.

Step 1 - Join a Voice Channel

Join any voice channel in your Discord server. The bot needs to see you in a voice channel to know where to play.

Step 2 - Use the Play Command

Type the following slash command in any text channel:

/play query:your song name or URL

Examples:

/play query:never gonna give you up
/play query:https://open.spotify.com/track/4cOdK2wGLETKBW3PvgPWqT
/play query:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
/play query:https://soundcloud.com/artist/track

What Happens

1. The bot joins your voice channel.
2. It searches for the track using the configured search engine (default: YouTube Search).
3. If a direct URL is provided, it resolves the track directly.
4. The track starts playing immediately if the queue is empty.
5. If music is already playing, the track is added to the queue.
6. A now-playing embed appears in the text channel.
