spotatui plays Spotify natively and streams YouTube, your local files, Subsonic or Navidrome and 30,000+ internet radio stations from a single keyboard-driven player. Spotify is optional. So is the AI DJ.
Features:
- Multiple sources — Spotify optional. Play from Spotify, Local Files, a Subsonic/Navidrome server, Internet Radio, YouTube, or Qobuz. The free sources need no Spotify account; press
dto switch between them at any time.- Native streaming. Play Spotify audio directly, no official app or spotifyd required — spotatui appears as its own Spotify Connect device (Premium required).
- Synced lyrics. Line-by-line lyrics that follow playback.
- Real-time audio visualizer. A system-wide FFT visualizer (press
v) that reacts to whatever is playing.- Cross-source play queue. Press
zon any track to queue it — the queue plays across every source before your current context resumes.- Lua plugins. Extend spotatui with event hooks, commands, keybindings, popups, and theming.
- Listening history & recap. spotatui keeps a local play history and can generate a shareable HTML recap (
spotatui history recap).- Full CLI. Most of what the UI does is scriptable — playback, search, playlists, shell completions. Run
spotatui --help.- Lightweight. ~78 MB RAM while streaming, versus a full Electron client. See Performance.
