ncspot

ncspot is a free, open-source terminal-based Spotify client written in Rust and powered by the librespot library. It provides a lightweight alternative to the official Spotify desktop application through a text-based ncurses interface. Users can browse tracks, albums, playlists, and genres directly from their terminal. The application includes music searching, playlist navigation, and convenient keyboard-driven playback controls. Its default Vim-style keybindings make it especially suitable for users accustomed to terminal workflows. ncspot also provides an interprocess communication socket for remote control and integration with external scripts. Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and BSD systems, it requires a Spotify Premium account and emphasizes low resource consumption.
