## What it is
A Spotify client with a terminal user interface written in Rust, allowing users to browse, search, and control Spotify playback from the command line. It requires a Spotify Premium account and pairs well with the spotifyd daemon for actual audio playback.

## Use cases
- control spotify playback from the terminal
- search and play songs without leaving the command line
- browse playlists and albums in a tui
- use spotify over ssh on a headless server
- keyboard-driven spotify client for linux

## When to choose
- you live in the terminal and want keyboard-driven Spotify control
- you want a lightweight client to pair with spotifyd
- you use a tiling window manager or work over ssh

## When to avoid
- you need audio playback built in - spt only controls playback, it does not play audio itself
- you need a free Spotify account - Premium is required
- you want a graphical desktop music app
