Snowball can join a voice channel and play music on demand. You can search for a song by name, paste a link from Spotify, Apple Music, or SoundCloud, or upload an audio file directly. Songs queue up automatically so you can line up tracks without interrupting what’s playing.
Music playback is not available in coverage voice channels. Use /radio play in those channels instead.

​
