This is expected to be temporary, but can affect search for spotify songs and playlists, you may see a lot of covers and remixes. We apologise for this, and are trying to find a way to bypass these changes, there is no ETA of fix on this as the solution for this is still unknown.
Please ...
Spotify recently made a change to it's API where third party services like fredboat cannot fetch "suggested" or "recommended" playlists, and playlists don't have a way to tell if they are "recommended" or user generated.
User created playlists will continue to work fine, recommended or au...

Hey everyone,
I sure don‘t have a lot to say here, as I find myself busy all the time. Here‘s a long but vastly overdue update.
2018 has mostly been a year where I have scrambled to make FredBoat the most stable service it can be, given the limitations that Discord imposes. Scalin...

Hey all,
Overnight I received a couple complaints that the patron bot was lagging. These problems are a result of the growing number of people using FredBoat Patron. In response to that I went ahead and upgraded the patron server to be able to handle twice the amount of music, while still being lo...

Hey all,
2017 has come and gone (give or take a few hours) and I wanted to take some time to reflect on what the year meant for FredBoat.
FredBoat was initially created by just me back in spring 2016, and exactly one year ago we saw about 468k users in 20.8k servers. Those a...

Update September 5ft: Made public
Hey all,
I figured it has been a while since I last posted. The past few weeks I have been working on building and testing an open source project called Lavalink 2017-08-27 10:59:10 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey all!
I'm proud to present my latest creation: patron.fredboat.com
Since FredBoat Patron was initially introduced, I have manually had to add the patron bot to over 150 Discord servers. This is rather in...
2017-06-23 10:16:13 +0000 UTC View PostPatreon has this permanent option for creators to enable charging up front. What this means is that new patrons are charged the moment they pledge, as opposed to the start of the next month. This option has long been on my mind and I'm now planning on activating it.
This means that when you pay yo...

Hey patrons!
Lately I've been quite occupied with my upcoming exams, but I've still managed to pour some more time into FredBoat. Here's what we've been working on lately:
Hey folks,
Just wanted to announce that FredBoat♪♪ has just reached 100,000 servers and 1.9M users! Hosting a music bot of this size takes an immense amount of resources, so I wouldn't be able to afford this without you my patron's support.
Thank you for making this happen. You pat...

Hey all patrons,
Some of you might have noticed that the patron bot has just restarted a few minutes from now. This is because the patron bot has just been migrated to a new server with twice as many resources! This means you can once again listen to the patron bot without stuttering. 2017-02-28 07:25:49 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello all patrons,
Just wanted to give you guys a brief post thanking you guys for support in 2016. This post will be/was posted the moment universal time hits midnight, meaning FredBoat's system clock would be at 2017 at that point.
2016 was the year FredBoat was born ...
2017-01-01 00:01:27 +0000 UTC View PostAfter having spent many hours developing and maintaining FredBoat last night I woke feeling like I would address you guys. Here's a recap of the changelog I posted last night:
After being advertised as coming Soon™ for over a month the patron bot is now here! Anyone pledging a minimum of $2 per month can message me privately to get access to this patron-exclusive music bot with greater performance than the public bot.
The majority of the Patreon money wil...
