music.

join a voice channel before asking havoc to play. a search starts with SoundCloud and falls back to YouTube; a playable link can be supplied instead of a song name. when the link resolves to a playlist, havoc queues its tracks rather than treating it as one search result.

/music play song name or link: midnight city

play is the prefix alias. havoc joins the member’s current channel, starts immediately when idle, or appends to the server queue when something is already playing. music state belongs to the server, so members share one current track and one queue.

transport commands affect the shared player rather than one member’s personal session. pause keeps the current position, resume continues it, and skip advances to the next queued track. volume is a whole-number percentage from 0 through 150.

a filter changes how every track is opened, so switching one re-opens whatever is playing at the position it had reached rather than starting the song over. the choice is saved per server and stays on across restarts until it is turned off.

filter is the prefix alias, and bass, nc and 8-d are accepted spellings. one filter is active at a time; setting a new one replaces the previous one rather than stacking with it.

with no song named, havoc looks up whatever is currently playing, cleaning “(official video)” style noise out of the title first. naming a song looks that up instead, so lyrics can be pulled without playing anything.

,lyrics m83 - midnight city

lyrics come from a public community database, so instrumentals, remixes and very new releases often have none. a “couldn’t find lyrics” reply means no match; a “service isn’t answering” reply means the lookup itself failed and is worth retrying. long lyrics are shown from the start and page through the card’s buttons.

by default anyone can run the transport commands. setting a dj role limits skip, previous, pause, resume, stop, volume changes, autoplay changes, filter changes and queue edits — including the buttons on the now-playing card — to members holding that role.

with 24/7 on, an empty queue and an empty voice channel stop being reasons to leave: havoc holds the connection until someone queues something again. the setting is saved per server, so it survives the bot restarting.

queue positions begin at 1 for the first waiting track; the currently playing track is shown separately and is not position 1. inspect the queue immediately before removing or moving, because a track ending or another member adding music can change the positions.

q, remove, and move are also prefix aliases. there is no separate clear command in the live registry; music stop is the only command that clears the whole queue, and it also leaves voice.

a saved playlist captures the current track followed by the waiting queue. give it a stable name so it can be found later. saved playlists are private to the member who created them, even though playback and the live queue are shared by the server.

a member can save up to 25 playlists, each containing at most 500 tracks, and names may be up to 100 characters. saving requires at least one current or queued track. deleting removes only the saved copy; it does not remove tracks already placed in the live queue.

havoc needs access to the chosen voice channel and permission to connect and speak there. the requesting member must already be connected. if havoc is playing in another channel in the same server, a new play request can move the existing connection to the requester’s channel.

auto-leaving clears the in-memory player, including its queue. saved playlists remain available because they are stored separately. rejoining before the empty-channel grace period ends cancels that departure timer.

“couldn’t join” points to voice access, a timed-out connection, or Discord refusing the connection. “couldn’t find anything playable” means neither SoundCloud nor the YouTube fallback returned a playable result. when a linked playlist is found but cannot start, retry later or queue an individual track to narrow down the failure.
