Terminal Music and Podcast Player written in Rust

Listen to music and podcasts freely as both in freedom and free of charge!

Freedom: As time goes by, online service providers control pretty much everything we listen to. Complicated copyright issues make things worse. If my favorite song cannot be found on a website, I'll probably just not listen to them for years.

Free of charge: You can download from YouTube, NetEase, Migu and KuGou for free. No need to register for monthly paid memberships.

As a contributor of GOMU, I met serious problems during development. The main problem is data race condition. So I rewrote the player in rust, and hope to solve the problem.

Supported Formats

Below are the audio formats supported by the various backends.

In the case that metadata is not supported, an attempt will still be made to play the file.

Installation

Requirements

MSRV

You will need to build with the stable rust toolchain. Minimal Supported Rust Version 1.67.1.

=======

Protobuf

This is required to build and run termusic. For ubuntu: apt-get protubuf-compiler, For arch: paru -S protobuf.

Dbus

As right now use_dbus is a configuration option, it's required to compile. For ubuntu: apt-get libdbus-1-dev, For arch: paru -S dbus.

Yt-dlp support

You can optionally install yt-dlp and FFmpeg to download MP3s from Youtube.

Album cover support

For kitty, album cover support is default. For other terminals, need ueberzug installed and cover feature flag compiled.

Packages

Do note that these will be compiled with the symphonia backend.

Arch Linux

Arch Linux users can install termusic from the AUR using an AUR helper.

paru termusic

NetBSD

NetBSD users can install termusic from the official repositories.

pkgin install termusic

Nix/NixOS

Either in the user's environment:

nix-env --install termusic

Or declaratively in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:

{
    environment.systemPackagess = with pkgs; [
      ...
      termusic
    ];
}

Cargo

cargo install termusic termusic-server

From Source

git clone https://github.com/tramhao/termusic.git
cd termusic
make

Then install with:

make install

By default, termusic can display album covers in Kitty or iTerm2 (mac, not tested). If you need album covers displayed on other terminals, please install ueberzug, then:

make full

Finally, you can run it with:

~/.local/share/cargo/bin/termusic

You can copy it anywhere in your $PATH. The configuration file is located in ~/.config/termusic/config.toml (or on macOS, ~/Library/Application Support/termusic/config.toml). However, as this is a minimalistic program, you don't need to edit the configuration file and almost everything can be set from the app.

TODO

• Better interface to adjust timestamp of lyric.
• Rating and sync support.
• Multiple root and easy switch.
• Save playlists.
• Listen to rss feeds/Podcasts. Need a new layout.
