Ever think about how much cooler it would be to play Roblox with your favorite tunes blasting in the background? Well, you totally can, and it’s pretty simple to set up. Let’s walk through how to play music while playing Roblox.

Adding your own soundtrack to your Roblox gameplay can really amp up the fun. Here’s how to do it:

In-Game Music Options

Boombox / Radios are items that let you play music out loud in a server by inputting a music code. These numerical codes are linked to real life music from Billie Eilish, all the way back to Beethoven.

Roblox has sometimes taken action against audio files over 6 seconds long to prevent copyright abuse, so occasionally these don’t always work.

Boombox Gear: Grab a Boombox from the Roblox catalog or find one in your game. Pop in a music code for one of your favorite songs, and let it play out loud for you and your friends.
Radio Pass: In some games, you can get a Radio pass (it might cost you some Robux). Once you have it, just input the music codes to start playing your chosen tracks.

Your Own Playlist

Background Play: Open up Spotify, Apple Music, or any music app on your computer, and play your tunes in the background while you game. Just adjust the volume so you can still hear the game sounds.
Discord: If you’re in a public or private Discord server, you can use the activity feature. With Discord activities, you can share YouTube playlists of music to listen to as a group, OR, if the server has a music bot, you can summon the bot to the voice call and play music through bot commands. Commands differ per bot but using /help or /commands for a bot should show you how you can play music. Read our article on how to stream YouTube on Discord to find out more.

Tips for the Best Experience

Headphones > Speakers: If you’re sharing a space with someone, or in a voice call, you’ll want to use headphones. Having the music come out of a monitor or speakers can have the music picked up on your microphone and cause problems in voice calls, so its best to avoid that by keeping the the beats all to yourself!
Consider Your Audience: If you’re using a Boombox or Radio in Roblox, your tunes aren’t just for you. Music codes exist for largely family friendly songs you’d hear on a radio, but some music still slips through the cracks. The last thing anyone needs while playing the best Roblox horror games though is a vibrant pop hit, so if you’re playing music out loud, try and match it to the vibes of the game.

Throwing some music into your Roblox play isn’t just about filling the silence; it’s about creating a vibe that makes every session a bit more special. Whether you integrate tunes through Roblox’s features or crank up your own playlist in the background, the right music can turn your gameplay into a personal party or a shared celebration. So, set up your soundtrack and make your next Roblox session uniquely yours!
