## What it is
spotatui is a fast, keyboard-driven terminal music player written in Rust with Ratatui. It natively streams Spotify and also plays YouTube, local files, Subsonic/Navidrome servers, Qobuz, and 30,000+ internet radio stations in a single cross-source queue.

## Use cases
- play Spotify from the terminal
- stream music from a Navidrome or Subsonic server in a TUI
- listen to internet radio stations in the terminal
- play local FLAC and MP3 files with a keyboard-driven player
- queue YouTube music alongside Spotify tracks
- view synced lyrics and an audio visualizer while listening
- migrate from spotify-tui to a maintained fork

## When to choose
- you want a single terminal player unifying Spotify, YouTube, local files, Subsonic, and radio
- you prefer keyboard-driven TUI apps over GUI music players
- you self-host Navidrome/Subsonic and want a lightweight client
- you want native Spotify streaming without a browser

## When to avoid
- you need a graphical music player with album art browsing
- you don't have Spotify Premium and don't want any of the free sources
- you need offline playback on a machine without a terminal
