/music command lets you play music in a voice channel. You must be in a voice channel to use most subcommands. Snowball supports Spotify tracks and albums, Apple Music tracks and albums, SoundCloud links, direct audio file URLs, and uploaded audio files. Music commands are slash-command only — prefix commands are not supported.
Snowball cannot play Spotify or Apple Music playlists, or pre-release tracks. Share individual song or album links instead.
