## What it is
spotify_player is a fast, configurable terminal-based Spotify client written in Rust with full feature parity to the official Spotify app. It supports streaming playback, Spotify Connect remote control, synced lyrics, audio visualization, and CLI commands.

## Use cases
- control Spotify playback from the terminal
- stream and play music without leaving the command line
- search tracks with fuzzy search in a TUI
- remote-control Spotify devices via Spotify Connect
- view synced lyrics while listening
- run a Spotify player as a background daemon
- control media playback with system media keys

## When to choose
- you live in the terminal and want a full-featured Spotify client
- you want a lightweight, keyboard/vim-driven alternative to the desktop app
- you need Spotify Connect control plus local streaming in one tool
- you want a scriptable Spotify player with CLI commands

## When to avoid
- you don't have a Spotify Premium account (required)
- you want a graphical desktop music player
- you need offline playback of local music files
- you want to play music from sources other than Spotify
