I develop kew (a terminal music player), so I’m biased, but I started kew because I rejected Spotify many years ago.
I think that kew (or other private/offline music players) together with flacs from Qobuz are actually a great alternative to Spotify. Throw in some Bandcamp albums in there for great justice. Once you have a decent collection, you will feel liberated.
I especially think that Qobuz needs more exposure.
Not to be stupid (I’m new to trying to get my shit offline and go back to physical media / owning digital copies of all my media) what is a “terminal music player”? I love finding these sorts of projects in my quest to take back my time and money!

I LOVE KEW, THANKS FOR MAKING IT! ive used it for years with my CD collection and it beats out everything in comparison.
Hey, thanks, appreciate it.
I love Lemmy so much cause there’s people that make me feel dumb, and no one that makes me feel smart. It pretty fucking refreshing!
Also thanks so much for your hard work. I got you on a small donation.
Edit: super git ignorant, guessing code berg doesn’t have that button. You got a “buy me a coffee” type thing set up?
Yes I do : https://ko-fi.com/ravachol. Thank you so much!
Just don’t read comments on political posts

It’s a music player for POSIX terminals that you can find on Linux, macOS and FreeBSD.
It looks like this:
Oh nice! Thank you for the screenshot!!
Oh, that’s really 'kew. Excellent naming. I’m so snagging this now :D.
Oooh nice, it’s even in Debian repositories 👍 Trying it out now.
