Getting started

Playing songs

Play music with /play and control what's playing.


Use to play music. Join a voice channel and run it; eara joins your channel automatically, so there's no need to run first. eara has to be added to your server before you can use it.

Play your first song

  1. Join a voice channel in your server.
  2. Run .
  3. Pick an autocomplete suggestion, or press enter to use your own text.
Type a song or artist in query, pick a suggestion, and eara starts playing it.

If nothing is playing, your song starts immediately. Otherwise it's added to the end of the queue.

You need to be in a voice channel to use . If eara is already playing in another channel, join that one instead; eara won't switch channels while it's playing.

The query option accepts either:

  • A search, like . eara searches for the song and shows matching results.
  • A link to a song, album, or playlist. eara queues the song, or every song in the album or playlist.

Not every site is supported; see Supported sites for the full list. Some sites, like YouTube, only work in servers with Premium. See Premium.

Choose where your song goes

New songs go to the end of the queue by default. Use the when option to change that:

whenWhat happens
LaterAdds to the end of the queue (default).
NextPlays after the current song.
NowStarts playing immediately.

The shuffle option shuffles only the songs you're adding, which is handy for albums and playlists:

To shuffle songs already in the queue, use .

Control the music

  • pauses playback.
  • resumes from where it paused.
  • jumps to a timestamp, written as minutes and seconds.
  • sets the volume. Run without a value to see the current volume.
  • shows the current song.
  • stops playback and clears the queue.

brings eara to your voice channel and disconnects it. Most of these commands only work when you're in the same voice channel as eara.

When the queue is empty

By default, playback stops after the last song. To keep going with songs eara recommends, turn on autoplay:

See Server settings for more options.

Find more commands

  • lists every command, and explains one command and all of its options. The full list is also on the commands page.
  • If something looks wrong, shows the player's state and checks whether the bot is healthy.
