cmus VS dust

Cmus. https://github.com/cmus/cmus

VLC can be used to play a file from the command line, but there is no user interface. Players like cmus and musikcube have a text based interface and library management.

cmus [1] is the closest I found to foobar2000. It is my main music player now, after years of disappointment. It supports FLAC and they claim they support CUE sheets, although I haven't tested your particular scenario. The way I use it is I have all my library in it at once, iTunes style. It has good search & playlists, but no drag&drop, since it's just command line...

Foobar2000 or CMus (CLI, but very simply and powerfull - but ofc no cover art without additional plugins/apps). https://www.foobar2000.org/mac https://github.com/cmus/cmus

I have a (comparatively) small collection (20gb), so here is how I do it: I use beets for the organization (https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/main.html) and cmus (https://github.com/cmus/cmus/blob/master/Doc/cmus-tutorial.txt) for playing.

Try using dust https://github.com/bootandy/dust

Folks open to using gdu might like to try dust (6k stars), or even erdtree (1.4k stars) which is too recent to show up on lists like this and still a bit behind on stars. A lot of people seem to use starship (33k stars) though I'm personally oldschool on prompts. There are many other items on that list I'm not motivated to check.

The first thought I had was to use rayon for this. And looking at some prior art that does pretty much the exact same thing, it does indeed use rayon.

The dust CLI command (made with Rust) can do this too.

How does this compare to dust?

Happened to me this morning, something filled up my drive in minutes. I used dust[1] to look for large files while it was happening but knowing what was doing it would've been a big help.

dust is also really nice.
