Was developed on Ubuntu 22.04 against Python 3.10. I used a chatGPT and codeGPT to the bulk of the bolierplate and to teach me the discord.py package. It took a bit of wrangling but I think the code seems pretty straightforward and mostly works*
Beathoven Commands: add Add a single url to the current playlist back Go back one or more songs code Where do I get this awesome code? help Shows this message join Tells the bot to join the voice channel leave Tells the bot to leave the voice channel list Show available playlists mute Mute the bot pause Pause song play Play songs from a playlist repeat Tells the bot to repeat the song/list or not restart Restart the current song resume Resumes a song. skip Skip song stop stop playing unmute Unmute the bot volume Change Volume of song yt Play a youtube url

BUGS galore: youtube playback - The stream seems to get terminated, at random times volume - volume works occasionaly mute/unbmute - related to volume issues? mute does nothing repeat song not working if song is last song in list skip restarts current song 1st time, 2nd time skips
Wishlist: logging is non existent at present. queing, let people add music to a que. mp3 tag information used and embedded images for Songs. Folder images, like cover.jpg displayed for playlists. Youtube thumbnails for now playing and playlists. Playlists by genre. User control of playlists, and playlists content - create - update - delete
Roadmap - MVP (minium viable product) - pretty much there, just need to sort out the youtube playback issues - add logging - fix volume control - update documentation - !list command - specify default is local
