- Orpheus saves playlists: 50 per person, 500 tracks each, playable in any server.

- Orpheus has a web dashboard for every server, free.
What Chip does well
Chip has a skip vote, which some servers prefer to a DJ role, and Orpheus doesn’t have one. It can also export your queue to a text file and load it back later.
Prices and features change. What’s here was read from these pages on 16 September 2026: chipbot.gg, chipbot.gg/commands, patreon.com/chipbot.
Switching over

Add Orpheus
You need Manage Server in the server you’re adding it to. Then join a voice channel and type
/playwith a song name or a link. - Step 2
Bring your playlists
Orpheus can’t read playlists saved inside Chip. If yours started as a public playlist on Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud or Bandcamp, paste that link into
/playlist import.One import holds up to 200 tracks. If the link has more, Orpheus offers to split it into several playlists and reads up to 500 tracks from one link. Spotify only gives Orpheus the first 200 of a playlist. Private playlists come back empty. Importing and exporting playlists
