Rythm is a music streaming service created by Yoav Zimet, used to play music in Discord servers.
History
Rythm was first created in 2016[1] by Yoav Zimet.[2] It was originally a Discord bot which would search Spotify, SoundCloud, and YouTube to stream the music a user requested.[3] After Google started issuing cease and desist letters to music Discord bots, Rythm was sent one for violating YouTube's terms of service and "using it for commercial purposes." Zimet commented that "One way or another we knew this was due to happen eventually."[4][2][5] Rythm complied and shut down the bot on September 15, 2021.[6]
Rythm was rereleased in 2024 as a Discord app with an optional subscription, splitting the profits with record labels and publishers. The company raised capital from Corazon Capital, Mucker Capital, Crush Ventures, Laffitte Management Group, and Black Squirrel Partners.[7] As of 2024, a version of Rythm outside Discord is being worked on.[8]
