ncspot

I recently went through most of the Spotify clients I could find on GitHub, looking for something "lean", including screen real estate. Most of the GUI apps had something similar to the official app in the maximized window, but none had a good mini-player, something I could put in the corner of an external monitor and control most of the important functions with minimal mouse clicking, including EQ and playlist. Interestingly this one with its Winamp mode is what I was looking for. Nostaliga is probably playing a part, but it a good UI does not have to be "modern". I also went through a tour of TUI apps. Lots of interesting work there, but a full TUI with windows was less convenient to navigate, and some of them try to do too much. I wound up using https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot because it specifically does not attempt to be a character

Also see ncspot, which is something similar with batteries-included: https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot

Have tried this several times but I find it drops off the network as a remote play device. If you have a PC with the Spotify app running, that appears as a remote play device to other clients. Otherwise I found ncspot to be more reliable than spotifyd: https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot/

I like Spotify-TUI, but I love ncspot. Give it a try, if you haven't. It's excellent: https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot

Hi everyone, this is my second "Show HN" submission posted in Hacker News. The first one was https://github.com/aome510/hackernews-TUI. I received a lot of good feedbacks and suggestions from the community back then. For the second one, I also look forward to hearing the community's opinions. A bit background on the project: I started `hackernews-tui` and after that `spotify-player` (both are terminal application) because I want to learn Rust and build applications with Rust which I'm able to use daily. `spotify-player` is a terminal application that can be used as either a remote player to control another Spotify client or a local player with an integrated Spotify client. So if you already know spotify-tui[1] or ncspot[2], `spotify-player` is kinda a simplified combination of both =). I have made two demo videos for the application, one

My personal favorite is musikcube: https://musikcube.com/ The mouse support is excellent, assuming your terminal emulator supports the features it needs. (Alacritty does, but iTerm2 doesn't seem to send right clicks to the program.) Pretty much everything can be clicked and right-clicked, you can even scroll (although I find it scrolls too fast to be useful). I listen to most of my music through musikcube and ncspot https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot these days.

Hi, the author here. Psst is definitely in alpha, and the CLI is indeed just an example (it's what I was using to test the core mechanisms). I'm sorry the accessibility is so bad now, but Druid, the GUI library, takes it very seriously -- which is not very common in custom GUI frameworks. So, fingers crossed, it should get better soon. Re. command-line Spotify clients, there is ncspot[1] and spotify-tui[2], and if you use Linux, Spot[3] looks like a nice GTK experience.

And for those wanting a ncurse client, there is ncspot [0] which is quite stable and complete. [0] https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot

My settings are: GTK2 apps do not support HiDPI correctly. oomox (and similar) can be used to generate a scaled GTK2 theme, but it won't solve all your problems. GTK3 supports HiDPI well. If you use Gnome, Xfce and others, you can configure this via the preferences UI. Otherwise, add this to your .profile file: export GDK_SCALE=2 export GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.5 Many Java apps can be scaled by adding an argument... java -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2 For Qt you can add this to your .profile file: export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 # For theming, requires qt5ct export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct For Spotify... I use ncspot for listening, and the web version to manage my playlists (although you can also management with ncspot). ncspot is a keyboard friendly, lightweight terminal client. https://

They could do though. All the smarts of Spotify comes from their APIs. There's been a bunch of third party low-resource clients / integrations for spotify; despotify, mopidy, recently this thing: https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot Unfortunately iirc the neat dynamically generated playlist stuff isn't supported because it's not exposed properly through their APIs. Certainly when I tried to use Spotify's own libspotify its functionality was crippled to static playlist management, searching for stuff, and playback. despotify was in a similar state at the time. Also - Spotify sucks HARD at doing all the stuff it does, and I blame this entirely on the UI implementation. The service, I love. The apps, I have become to loathe. They used to be nice and quick and responsive. Now? It can't even get shuffle right!! My mid tier smartphone takes 10 m
