The `screenchange` member variable on `Layout` didn't seem to be used for anything except for debugging. A comment in `on_layout` makes it seem like it wasn't meant to be used for debugging purposes but for actual functionality that wasn't implemented.
An ncurses Spotify client written in Rust using librespot
ncspot is an ncurses Spotify client written in Rust using librespot. It is heavily inspired by ncurses MPD clients, such as ncmpc. My motivation was to provide a simple and resource friendly alternative to the official client as well as to support platforms that currently don't have a Spotify client, such as the *BSDs.
ncspot only works with a Spotify premium account as it offers features that are not available for free accounts.
Features
- Support for tracks, albums, playlists, genres, searching...
- Small resource footprint
- Support for a lot of platforms
- Vim keybindings out of the box
- IPC socket for remote control
- Automatic authentication using a password manager
