Tonearm

Tonearm plays music in your Discord voice channel. Search for a song or paste a YouTube or Spotify link and it starts playing. Every command works as a slash command or typed with a prefix (!play by default, change it with /setprefix).

Getting started

1. Invite Tonearm and join a voice channel.
2. Type /play and a song name or link.
3. Use /queue to see what's next and /skip to move on.

The queue

Anyone in the voice channel can add songs. Besides pause, skip and volume, you get:

• /search to see the top results and pick the one you meant
• /playtop and /playskip to put a song first or play it right away
• /move, /remove, /jump and /removedupes to tidy up the queue
• /loop for one song or the whole queue, plus /shuffle
• /seek, /rewind and /fastforward to move around in a song
• /back and /replay when you want to hear something again
• /grab to get the current song sent to your DMs

Fair skipping

When someone skips a song they didn't add, the people listening vote on it. Half the channel has to agree, so one person can't skip everyone else's music. The person who added the song and the DJ role skip instantly. Admins can change the share or turn voting off with /voteskip.

One message per song

When a song starts, Tonearm posts one message with buttons for pause, skip, stop and the queue. It edits that message as things change instead of posting a new one every time, so the chat doesn't fill up with bot replies.

Request channel

Run /setup and Tonearm creates a channel where people type a song name and it gets queued. No commands to remember.

Playlists

Make your own playlists with /playlist. Add the song that's playing, the whole queue, or search for something new. Playlists belong to you, not the server, so they work anywhere Tonearm is. /playlist share gives you a code a friend can use to play yours.

Web player

Log in at tonearm.xyz with Discord to control the music in your voice channel from a browser tab: the queue, skip, seek and volume.

For server admins

• /setdj and /setdjonly to hand skip, stop and volume to a DJ role
• /setvc and /setchannel to keep Tonearm in certain voice and text channels
• /voteskip to set how many listeners must agree to skip a song
• /setprefix to change the typed prefix
• /settings to see everything at once
