Discord Bot

You'll need to install discord.js and @discordjs/opus.

const { MessageEmbed, Client } = require('discord.js');
const spdl = require('spdl-core');
function formatDuration(duration) {
  let seconds = duration / 1000;
  return `${Math.floor(seconds / 60)}m ${Math.floor(seconds % 60)}s`;
}

const client = new Client();
client.login('Your Discord Bot Token');
client.on('ready', () => console.log('Ready'));

client.on('message', async (msg) => {
  if (!msg.content.startsWith('!play')) return;
  const url = msg.content.split('!play ')[1];
  if (!spdl.validateURL(url)) return msg.channel.send('Invalid URL');
  const channel = msg.member.voice.channel;
  if (!channel) return msg.channel.send('Not in a voc channel');
  try {
    const connection = await channel.join();
    connection
      .play(await spdl(url))
      .on('error', e => console.error(e));
    const infos = await spdl.getInfo(url);
    const embed = new MessageEmbed()
      .setTitle(`Now playing: ${infos.title}`)
      .setURL(infos.url)
      .setColor('#1DB954')
      .addField('Artist', infos.artist, true)
      .addField('Duration', formatDuration(infos.duration), true)
      .setThumbnail(infos.thumbnail);
    msg.channel.send(embed);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
    msg.channel.send(`An error occurred: ${err.message}`);
  }
});

Note

There is nothing illegal here, the module just searches for the song on Youtube and downloads it.
