Muse

Muse is a self-hosted music bot for Discord. It can connect to voice channels, play audio from most YouTube videos, and auto-convert Spotify playlists/tracks to YouTube videos. In the words of the README:

Muse is a highly-opinionated midwestern self-hosted Discord music bot that doesn't suck. It's made for small to medium-sized Discord servers/guilds (think about a group the size of you, your friends, and your friend's friends).

Other self-hosted music bots exist; but they were either too complex, over-engineered, or were missing Spotify support (and none were midwestern). Muse was built to fill the gap between extremely basic bots and bots made for much larger Discord servers.

In August 2024, I decided to transfer ownership as the user base had steadily grown and I no longer had the time to maintain it to the level of quality I wanted. It's now maintained by several contributors.

As of November 2024, the Docker image for Muse receives about 15k downloads per version.
