How to Create a Music Bot in Ventrilo
Ventrilo is a popular voice over internet protocol (VoIP) service used to communicate with groups of friends, family or colleagues online. If you want to communicate with groups of people online, Ventrilo can be a simple solution for you. One popular addition to many Ventrilo servers is a music bot. A single user can play or stream music so that everyone on that Ventrilo server can hear it. Setting up a music bot is as simple as changing settings within your media player and within Ventrilo itself.
