ncspot is a cross-platform ncurses Spotify client written in Rust using librespot, inspired by ncurses MPD clients like ncmpc. It provides a lightweight, resource-friendly terminal interface for Spotify playback, requiring a Premium account.
Use cases
- control Spotify playback from the terminal
- run a lightweight Spotify client on BSD or other platforms without an official client
- search and play Spotify tracks, albums, and playlists in a TUI
- manage Spotify queues and playlists with vim keybindings
- remotely control Spotify playback via IPC socket
When to choose
- you want a minimal, low-resource Spotify client instead of the official app
- you're on a platform like *BSD with no official Spotify client
- you prefer terminal applications with vim-style keybindings
When to avoid
- you don't have a Spotify Premium account
- you need album art, lyrics, or other graphical features of the official client
- you want a GUI music player
