A Spotify client for the terminal written in Rust.

Demo

The terminal in the demo above is using the Rigel theme.

Installation

The binary executable is spt.

Homebrew

For both macOS and Linux

brew install spotify-tui

To update, run

brew upgrade spotify-tui

Snap

For a system with Snap installed, run

snap install spt

The stable version will be installed for you automatically.

If you want to install the nightly build, run

snap install spt --edge

AUR

For those on Arch Linux you can find the package on AUR here. If however you're using an AUR helper you can install directly from that, for example (in the case of yay), run

yay -S spotify-tui

Nix

Available as the package spotify-tui. To install run:

nix-env -iA nixpkgs.spotify-tui

Where nixpkgs is the channel name in your configuration. For a more up-to-date installation, use the unstable channel. It is also possible to add the package to environment.systemPackages (for NixOS), or home.packages when using home-manager.

Void Linux

Available on the official repositories. To install, run

sudo xbps-install -Su spotify-tui

Fedora/CentOS

Available on the Copr repositories. To install, run

sudo dnf copr enable atim/spotify-tui -y && sudo dnf install spotify-tui

Cargo

Use this option if your architecture is not supported by the pre-built binaries found on the releases page.

First, install Rust (using the recommended rustup installation method) and then

cargo install spotify-tui

This method will build the binary from source.

To update, run the same command again.

Note on Linux

For compilation on Linux the development packages for libssl are required. For basic installation instructions, see install OpenSSL. In order to locate dependencies, the compilation also requires pkg-config to be installed.

If you are using the Windows Subsystem for Linux, you'll need to install additional dependencies.

Windows 10

Scoop installer

First, make sure scoop installer is on your windows box, for instruction please visit scoop.sh

Then open powershell and run following two commands:

scoop bucket add scoop-bucket https://github.com/Rigellute/scoop-bucket
scoop install spotify-tui

After that program is available as: spt or spt.exe

Manual

  1. Download the latest binary for your OS.
  2. cd to the file you just downloaded and unzip
  3. cd to spotify-tui and run with ./spt

Connecting to Spotify’s API

spotify-tui needs to connect to Spotify’s API in order to find music by name, play tracks etc.

Instructions on how to set this up will be shown when you first run the app.

But here they are again:

  1. Go to the Spotify dashboard
  2. Click Create an app
    • You now can see your Client ID and Client Secret
  3. Now click Edit Settings
  4. Add http://localhost:8888/callback to the Redirect URIs
  5. Scroll down and click Save
  6. You are now ready to authenticate with Spotify!
  7. Go back to the terminal
  8. Run spt
  9. Enter your Client ID
  10. Enter your Client Secret
  11. Press enter to confirm the default port (8888) or enter a custom port
  12. You will be redirected to an official Spotify webpage to ask you for permissions.
  13. After accepting the permissions, you'll be redirected to localhost. If all goes well, the redirect URL will be parsed automatically and now you're done. If the local webserver fails for some reason you'll be redirected to a blank webpage that might say something like "Connection Refused" since no server is running. Regardless, copy the URL and paste into the prompt in the terminal.

And now you are ready to use the spotify-tui πŸŽ‰

You can edit the config at anytime at ${HOME}/.config/spotify-tui/client.yml. (for snap ${HOME}/snap/spt/current/.config/spotify-tui/client.yml)

Usage

The binary is named spt.

Running spt with no arguments will bring up the UI. Press ? to bring up a help menu that shows currently implemented key events and their actions. There is also a CLI that is able to do most of the stuff the UI does. Use spt --help to learn more.

Here are some example to get you excited.

spt --completions zsh # Prints shell completions for zsh to stdout (bash, power-shell and more are supported)

spt play --name "Your Playlist" --playlist --random # Plays a random song from "Your Playlist"
spt play --name "A cool song" --track # Plays 'A cool song'

spt playback --like --shuffle # Likes the current song and toggles shuffle mode
spt playback --toggle # Plays/pauses the current playback

spt list --liked --limit 50 # See your liked songs (50 is the max limit)

# Looks for 'An even cooler song' and gives you the '{name} from {album}' of up to 30 matches
spt search "An even cooler song" --tracks --format "%t from %b" --limit 30

Configuration

A configuration file is located at ${HOME}/.config/spotify-tui/config.yml, for snap ${HOME}/snap/spt/current/.config/spotify-tui/config.yml (not to be confused with client.yml which handles spotify authentication)

The following is a sample config.yml file:

# Sample config file

# The theme colours can be an rgb string of the form "255, 255, 255" or a string that references the colours from your terminal theme: Reset, Black, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Magenta, Cyan, Gray, DarkGray, LightRed, LightGreen, LightYellow, LightBlue, LightMagenta, LightCyan, White.
theme:
  active: Cyan # current playing song in list
  banner: LightCyan # the "spotify-tui" banner on launch
  error_border: Red # error dialog border
  error_text: LightRed # error message text (e.g. "Spotify API reported error 404")
  hint: Yellow # hint text in errors
  hovered: Magenta # hovered pane border
  inactive: Gray # borders of inactive panes
  playbar_background: Black # background of progress bar
  playbar_progress: LightCyan # filled-in part of the progress bar
  playbar_progress_text: Cyan # song length and time played/left indicator in the progress bar
  playbar_text: White # artist name in player pane
  selected: LightCyan # a) selected pane border, b) hovered item in list, & c) track title in player
  text: "255, 255, 255" # text in panes
  header: White # header text in panes (e.g. 'Title', 'Artist', etc.)

behavior:
  seek_milliseconds: 5000
  volume_increment: 10
  # The lower the number the higher the "frames per second". You can decrease this number so that the audio visualisation is smoother but this can be expensive!
  tick_rate_milliseconds: 250
  # Enable text emphasis (typically italic/bold text styling). Disabling this might be important if the terminal config is otherwise restricted and rendering text escapes interferes with the UI.
  enable_text_emphasis: true
  # Controls whether to show a loading indicator in the top right of the UI whenever communicating with Spotify API
  show_loading_indicator: true
  # Disables the responsive layout that makes the search bar smaller on bigger
  # screens and enforces a wide search bar
  enforce_wide_search_bar: false
  # Determines the text icon to display next to "liked" Spotify items, such as
  # liked songs and albums, or followed artists. Can be any length string.
  # These icons require a patched nerd font.
  liked_icon: β™₯
  shuffle_icon: πŸ”€
  repeat_track_icon: πŸ”‚
  repeat_context_icon: πŸ”
  playing_icon: β–Ά
  paused_icon: ⏸
  # Sets the window title to "spt - Spotify TUI" via ANSI escape code.
  set_window_title: true

keybindings:
  # Key stroke can be used if it only uses two keys:
  # ctrl-q works,
  # ctrl-alt-q doesn't.
  back: "ctrl-q"

  jump_to_album: "a"

  # Shift modifiers use a capital letter (also applies with other modifier keys
  # like ctrl-A)
  jump_to_artist_album: "A"

  manage_devices: "d"
  decrease_volume: "-"
  increase_volume: "+"
  toggle_playback: " "
  seek_backwards: "<"
  seek_forwards: ">"
  next_track: "n"
  previous_track: "p"
  copy_song_url: "c"
  copy_album_url: "C"
  help: "?"
  shuffle: "ctrl-s"
  repeat: "r"
  search: "/"
  audio_analysis: "v"
  jump_to_context: "o"
  basic_view: "B"
  add_item_to_queue: "z"

Limitations

This app uses the Web API from Spotify, which doesn't handle streaming itself. So you'll need either an official Spotify client open or a lighter weight alternative such as spotifyd.

If you want to play tracks, Spotify requires that you have a Premium account.

Using with spotifyd

Follow the spotifyd documentation to get set up.

After that there is not much to it.

  1. Start running the spotifyd daemon.
  2. Start up spt
  3. Press d to go to the device selection menu and the spotifyd "device" should be there - if not check these docs

Libraries used

Development

  1. Install OpenSSL
  2. Install Rust
  3. Install xorg-dev (required for clipboard support)
  4. Clone or fork this repo and cd to it
  5. And then cargo run

Windows Subsystem for Linux

You might get a linking error. If so, you'll probably need to install additional dependencies required by the clipboard package

sudo apt-get install -y -qq pkg-config libssl-dev libxcb1-dev libxcb-render0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev
