 Some key commands are:
 * <code>_play <YouTube link></code> (without angle brackets): Queue the specified YouTube link for playout. If the player is stopped, the song will start playing immediately. If the player is paused, the song will be queued.
 * <code>_play <search term></code> (without angle brackets): Search YouTube for the specified term, then queue the first result. If the player is stopped, the song will start playing immediately. If the player is paused, the song will be queued.
 * <code>_forceskip</code>: Skip the current track in the queue and start playing what's next. If there's nothing queued, the player will stop.
-* <code>_pause</code>: Pause or resume the music player.
+* <code>_pause</code>: Pause the music player.
