Rythm (software)
Rythm (pronounced as "rhythm") is a music streaming service created by Yoav Zimet, used to play music in Discord servers. History Rythm was first created in 2016 by Yoav Zimet. It was originally a Discord bot which would search Spotify, SoundCloud, and YouTube to stream the music a user requested. 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." Rythm complied and shut down the bot on September 15, 2021. Under the auspices of Oliy Barrett, Rythm was re-released on Discord in 2024 with an optional subscription, splitting the profits with record labels "Big Three" music labels A record label or record company is a brand or trademark of music recordings and music videos, or the company that owns it.

The letter may warn that, if the recipient does not discontinue specified conduct, or take certain actions, by deadlines set in the letter, the letter's recipient may be sued.

The subscription business model is a business model in which a customer must pay a recurring price at regular intervals for access to a product or service. The model was pioneered by publishers of books and periodicals in the 17th century. It is particularly common now for digital products, which lend themselves more naturally toward a subscription model. Subscriptions can be a more convenient, hassle-free transaction for consumers. However, due to inertia among some consumers, they may inadvertently pay for subscriptions that they no longer value because they do not realize that they are subscribed. Subscriptions Rather than selling products individually, a subscription offers periodic (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, semi-annual, yearly/annual, or seasonal) use or access to a product or service, or, in the case of performance-oriented organizations such as opera companies, tickets to the entire run of some set number of (e.g., five to fifteen) scheduled performances for ...
