In diesem Artikel geht es um einen Vergleich der Extreme. Der Spotify-Electron-Client tritt gegen den Spotify-TUI-Client an. Es geht um das User Interface und die User Experience.

Sure, #elinks isn't built for the modern web, but it serves a purpose. I use #aerc for email, #senpai for irc, #iamb for matrix chat, #slrn for newsgroups and message boards, #ncspot for Spotify, #mpg123 for local media or online radio, and #rbw for my bitwarden client. I really don't need much else. It's not a machine I rely on for serious tasks, but it's covered most of my daily needs. Best of all, without a GUI, it's blazing fast!
I've been enjoying some time on #gopher and #gemini as well.

Since I'm not working on the #OpenBSD laptop, I can use it for music and video playback. I remember from the past that video could be a little janky in OpenBSD, but that is no longer the case.
I'm getting great video, no stuttering. Great audio as well.
I have been experiencing some stuttery video in the Threads website in Fedora 40, but that doesn't happen at all in OpenBSD 7.5. It's the exact same hardware (I boot Fedora from an NVMe SSD and OpenBSD from a SATA SSD). Maybe it has something to do with Wayland in Fedora vs. Xenocara in OpenBSD.
This OpenBSD system, using #Firefox, is great for YouTube. Again, this OS hasn't had a previous "reputation" for smooth video playback, but I have been very pleasantly surprised.
I tried the Pandora music service in Firefox, and that plays very well.
Spotify will NOT let you use its service via browser on OpenBSD (maybe you can "trick" it, but I haven't tried), and of course there is no official app on OpenBSD. However, I've been using the great #ncspot — an ncurses app written in Rust (https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot) — in the terminal for Spotify playback, and it has been working really well. I had to specifically set my terminal in Xfce to allow for Unicode so everything looks better, but the audio (and UI) is pretty great.
ncspot is available as a package in OpenBSD, making it easy to install. I like it in Linux as well, where I tend to add it as a Flatpak.

These are 4 separate playlists (with amazing music) that I put together in one long playlist so I can chill for hours. My OCD really enjoys looking at it in #ncspot. It's beautiful how they line up this well. :ablobspin:

#ncspot is a pretty cool app — Spotify in an ncurses terminal windows, which means you can use the music service in #BSD.
Works great in #OpenBSD, I can tell you. (Pro tip: you need to change your terminal's encoding to UTF-8, which was easy for me to do in #Xfce)
The app is a little quirky in terms of its UI, but it does the job very well.
The app is written in Rust, and you need a Spotify Premium account to use it.

If you use #ncspot you may be interested to know that versions 0.7.x are broken (for now) 0.6.0 seems to work fine. Issue here: https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot/issues/535

#ncspot + #kdeconnect (or #gsconnect ) are a good combo

I was never a huge #CLI fan, but I found #ncspot and I love it !! https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot

My #fossmendation for today: #ncspot to use #Spotify from the terminal instead of the giant snap @skunksarebetter
