YouTube-specific needs
Search relevance, age-restricted edge cases, and long mixes. Your bot should fail loudly with a clear error, not sit mute.
Smooth for YouTube + everything else
Smooth handles YouTube beside Spotify and other sources so the night is not “YouTube bot for memes, other bot for music.”
Quick verification
Open https://smoothbot.in/invite (or Add to Discord on the site), pick your server, approve connect/speak and command permissions, then join a voice channel.
Search a track name, paste a full YouTube URL, then queue a long mix and skip once.
