A Spotify client for the terminal written in Rust. The binary executable is spt. For those on Arch Linux, you can find the package on AUR. spotify-tui needs to connect to Spotify’s API in order to find music by name, play tracks etc. 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 it into the prompt in the terminal. 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.
