AxleBot is a Discord bot designed to play music from Spotify and YouTube, search for lyrics, and manage playlists. It is built using the Discord.py library and integrates with Spotify and YouTube APIs for music playback.
Note: It is my first time building such a bot, so there may be imperfections/inconsistencies etc with the code.
- Play music from Spotify and YouTube
- Search and display lyrics for the currently playing song
