About

ncspot is a ncurses Spotify client written in Rust using librespot. It is heavily inspired by ncurses MPD clients, such as ncmpc.

A simple and resource friendly alternative to the official client, which also supports platforms that currently don't have a Spotify client, such as the *BSDs.

Note that ncspot offers features that are legally incompatible with free Spotify accounts. You must have an existing premium Spotify subscription to use ncspot.
