Discord’s Rythm music bot returns with a mission to overhaul shared listening

Rythm is also getting a mobile app.

YouTube soon launched its own official Discord integration, but the closure of Rythm and Groovy left a giant hole for a shared music listening experience. “Unlike the previous bot iteration, this one actually has a full UI,” explains Rythm creator Yoav Zimet in an interview with The Verge. SoundCloud, Turntable.fm, and many others have tried to position themselves as unique music services, and now Rythm is trying to find its own niche and see if there’s a broader appetite for shared listening experiences.
