Jockie Music Alternatives: Free Discord Music Bots

What Jockie Music does well

Jockie's own site calls it a "1 in 4" bot: up to four dedicated music bots that act as one. When the first bot is busy in a voice channel, the next one in line joins, and every bot shares the same prefix and commands. That solves a real problem for servers with several voice rooms that all want music at the same time.

The Discord Bot List page adds details. It lists over 150 commands, the m! prefix, playlists it calls collections, a Guess the Song game, a statistics dashboard and sources including Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, Deezer, Tidal, Bandcamp, direct links and radio stations. It says free servers can add up to 4 Jockie bots and premium raises that to up to 23 extra bots.

Why people look elsewhere

• Premium sits behind Patreon. Jockie's Patreon page lists seven monthly tiers from 5 USD to 100 USD (as of November 2026). The tier page does not say what each includes, and Jockie's FAQ index lists premium, boosts and 24/7 as topics, so check those before paying.
• Multi-bot is more than many servers need. If you run one voice room, four bot accounts in your member list is clutter.
• Prefix commands. The listing shows m! commands. Some servers prefer slash commands only.
• Music is its whole job. You will still need other bots for tickets or a shop.

I could not read Jockie's FAQ answers, so I do not state what is free or paid about 24/7 mode.

1. Noxyr

Best for: servers that want music with no premium tier, next to tickets, a shop and moderation.

• Sources: search by name, or paste YouTube, YouTube Music, Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud or direct links. Playlists and albums from YouTube and Spotify load whole. Spotify songs are matched and streamed from another source, public playlists only, and no Spotify login is needed.
• Sound: bass boost, nightcore, vaporwave, 8D, karaoke, speed and pitch from a dropdown, plus synced lyrics.
• Always on: /music settings keeps the bot in your channel 24/7, loops a saved playlist, or autoplays similar songs when the queue ends.
• Control: a DJ role, a request channel where members queue songs by typing, and a live player on the dashboard with the queue.
• Resilience: a failed track is retried up to 10 times before it is skipped, and a backup audio server takes over automatically.

Trade-offs: Noxyr's docs describe one player per server and nothing like Jockie's several bots at once, so if several voice rooms need different music, Jockie fits better. Everything in the music module is free, with no vote-locked command. See the music bot page and 24/7 music.

2. Chip

Best for: a free, music-only bot with an equalizer.

Chip's home page says it is free, runs 24/7, streams at the best quality it can, lets you change the command prefix and has an equalizer. It says its commands are not hidden behind a payment wall, and it links to a Chip Premium page whose contents I could not read, so I make no claim about what premium adds.

3. Hydra, and why to check before you invite it

Hydra shows up in many bot lists. Its premium page now says that from February 7th 2023 it no longer provides premium music features, and its current plan comparison covers leveling, welcome messages, reaction roles and a message builder. If you want music, pick one of the other bots here.

How to switch

1. Count your voice rooms. If more than one needs music at the same time, keep Jockie for that and add Noxyr for the main room.
2. Add Noxyr. Invite it, join a voice channel and run /play with a name or link.
3. Set the room up. Choose a DJ role and a request channel under Automation, Music on the dashboard, or with /music settings.
4. Turn on 24/7 if you want it. /music settings has the stay and playlist options. The 24/7 guide explains each mode.
5. Move your playlists. Paste the YouTube or Spotify playlist link into /play to queue it whole, then save it to your own playlists.
