spotify-player VS spotify-tui

The Spotify on the Discover Store doesn't allow you to run in the terminal and using the terminal will give it a nice performance boost without the GUI overhead, which is what is being achieved using spotify-payer. From checking the project, it looks pretty good for something minimal: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player

btw, check out the epic CLI spotify_player of aome510 its on github, its really ram efficient ~45mb of ram ( orig. spotify uses sometimes up to 400-800mb...) craaaazy

The one I use, spotify-player, https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player

I'll look into it. But, I don't want to control spotify-player, itself can be used as one, https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player

That's probably a good suggestion. I've done this a few years ago but not with X11, just minor applications to test the concept. I'll look into this, Netflix is the only thing remaining. For Spotify, I've just built spotify-player (https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player) with the alsabackend and it's working fine.

spotify-player, https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player - not available but, the one I use

It was at this point I was getting a lot of joy out of writing command line applications. I had also just learnt of the existence of spotify-tui and wanted to explore more I could build such applications. So building interfaces for APIs felt like a good way to try this out.

If you are handy with a terminal, spotify-tui is my favorite Spotify controller I’ve ever used. No bullshit at all.

I switched to linux recently and iam loving it the speed and CLI tools that linux provides are amazing you can do anything imaginable in the terminal i use Spotify in the terminal navigate very very fast using auto-jump and its just easier than navigating all those uis and using the keyboard for everything is way faster and easier on your hand than the mouse and keyboard combination especially if you use a window manager

I dont know if it counts but I have used spotify tui on my pi400 a while ago link

For example, there's a couple reddit clients, YouTube viewers, Spotify clients and many many more.

If you want to run Spotify on a Raspberry (or PinePhone or some other device), there’s Spot, which is great, but kinda heavy and slow. There’s Spotify-qt which is faster, requires messing with Spotify developer dashboard, and UI doesn’t fit on small screens. Spotify-qt is itself based on Spotify-tui which runs in the terminal (pretty cool IMO). And a bare client/daemon is spotifyd. So you have quite a few choices there.
