We’re now partnered with Rythm, the new Discord Music platform
Rythm started in 2016 as a side project by friends who shared a passion for music and video games. What began as a small idea quickly grew into a global community of over 30 million music fans. However, Rythm was forced to shut down on September 15, 2021, due to a notice from YouTube. Despite this setback, the team, supported by its users, spent two years rebuilding. In 2024, Rythm has made a successful return with enhanced features and improved partnerships with top music companies, ensuring that artists are compensated for every stream while delivering the beloved music experience to users.
WHAT IS RYTHM?
Rythm distinguishes itself as a social music service designed specifically for Discord as a music bot. Unlike traditional music platforms, Rythm puts it’s emphasis on shared listening experiences, allowing users to enjoy music together in a communal setting.
It offers a range of advanced features including lyric display, song or playlist looping, shuffle mode, and precise volume control – this will integrate into your Discord server.
