I have been maintaining spotatui, a continuation of the unmaintained spotify tui, and just added a big feature: native Spotify Connect playback. What is new Before, you needed the official Spotify app or spotifyd running to actually play music. Now spotatui can play audio itself. It registers as a Spotify Connect device that you can control from the terminal, your phone or any other Spotify client. Supports: • Real time FFT audio visualization (press v) • Cross platform audio: WASAPI on Windows, PipeWire or PulseAudio on Linux • Keeps its own connect credentials cached What it can do Built with ratatui and rspotify. • Playback controls, queue and device switching • Search: tracks, albums, artists, playlists • Settings UI with theme presets • CLI mode for scripting spotatui play --name "Your Playlist" --playlist --random • Works on Windows, Linux and macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon) Install If you have Rust: cargo install spotatui Or grab binaries: https://github.com/LargeModGames/spotatui/releases Because it uses the Spotify API, Spotify Premium is required. Help wanted I do not have a Mac to test. If you try it on Apple Silicon I would love to get some feedback.
