Cmus vs. Musikcube
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.

Whipper: Accurate Audio CD Ripping
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...

I wrote a "12 favourite terminal tools" list-article, what did I left out that should be absolutely included?

Good music player/client for Mac?
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

What's your favorite Music Player? Here's my Foobar2000 setup
I use cmus for local file and cider for streaming on Linux.

Audio Book reader for the command line?
cmus does have a feature you can enable that will save your spot when exiting and resume where you left off when opened next. But that will not work if you're switching between different audio files and want to save your spot in all of them. There is an open issue requesting this functionality though. Plus there is a possible solution you can try in the issue comments.

Musikcube, a cross-platform, terminal-based library, player and server
I use Musikcube a lot, it works great on macOS and Linux, and is snappy even on very cheap or old systems. It has very good mouse support (if your terminal emulator supports it), it's the first time I saw a TUI app with a right click menu, or that you can scroll through.
My one major complaint is that there is no way I know of to import/export playlists: https://github.com/clangen/musikcube/issues/141
Another similar program I use when I am unable or unwilling to install musikcube for some reason is cmus: https://cmus.github.io/
-
What are some of your favorite CLI/TUI apps?
cmus as music player. More straight-forward than mpd clients, single app.

Different Music Player
Just works (plays almost all formats) - FooBar2000 Minimal as fuck (CLI/Terminal) - CMUS Bloat (lots of features some you want, some you didn't know you wanted and stuff you won't use) - tomahawk

Converting the Kernel to C++
A recent practical example of the former: the fish shell re-wrote incrementally from C++ to Rust, and is almost finished https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/discussions/10123
An example of the latter: c2rust, which is a work in progress but is very impressive https://github.com/immunant/c2rust
It currently translates into unsafe Rust, but the strategy is to separate the "compile C to unsafe Rust" steps and the "compile unsafe Rust to safe Rust" steps. As I see it, as it makes the overall task simpler, allows for more user freedom, and makes the latter potentially useful even for non-transpiled code. https://immunant.com/blog/2023/03/lifting/

Fish shell 3.7.0: last release branch before the full Rust rewrite
And this discussion from November has an update on the progress: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/discussions/10123
-
Day 5 - More or less...
We're using bash as our terminal shell for now (it is standard in many distros) but it is not the only one out there. If you want to test out zsh, fish or oh-my-zsh, you will see that there are a few differences and the features are usually the main differentiator. Try that, poke around.

Fish – Update on the Rust Port
> 1. It's amazing that they're doing this as a gradual C++ to Rust rewrite, while keeping it working end-to-end, if I understand correctly.
Seems to me they're not doing it gradually at all.
> Another thing:
> We plan on not doing any partial-rust release.
> That means we would be doing e.g. fish 4.0 as fully rust and zero C++, and I think, contrary to what we usually do that warrants a beta. (Ordinarily we've stopped doing betas and release candidates because they simply don't get any testing).
> We also still want to do a 3.7.0 in-between release that is still purely C++, so we have a better jumping off point for platforms that can't handle the rust version. It would be 3.6.1 with some neat changes backported.
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/discussions/10123#d...
It has nothing to do with Windows. fish doesn't support Windows. Their use of wchar_t is the glibc wchar_t (wchar_t is not Microsoft-specific) which is a 32-bit type and stores UTF-32-encoded codepoints. The Rust type they're using is also the same ( https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/blob/master/doc_int... ).
More on the motivation behind the rewrite.
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/9512#issuecomm...
They have a variety of reasons to move to rust, as outlined in their original rust discussion[1]. Mostly around finding other contributors, and adding an async/parallel mode they're comfortable with.
