# 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](https://github.com/issadarkthing/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.
| Format (`feature`) | Symphonia (`rusty`) | Mpv (`mpv`) | Gstreamer (`gst`) | Metadata |
| ------------------ | ----------------------- | ----------- | ----------------- | -------- |
| ADTS | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| AIFF | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| FLAC | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| M4a | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| MP3 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Opus | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Ogg Vorbis | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Wav | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| WebM | Yes(opus not supported) | Yes | Yes | No |
| MKV | Yes(depends on codec) | Yes | Yes | No |
Default backend: `rusty`
## Installation
### Requirements
#### MSRV
You will need to build with the stable rust toolchain. Minimal Supported Rust Version 1.77.0.
### git
`git` will be required to build the package.
=======
| Backend | Requirements |
|-----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Symphonia | You will need [ALSA](https://alsa-project.org) installed to support decoding with symphonia.
Note that the ALSA development files are required. These are provided as part of the `libasound2-dev` package on Debian and Ubuntu distributions and `alsa-lib-devel` on Fedora.
In addition `soundtouch` and `clang`(build only) are required. |
| GStreamer | [GStreamer](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org) |
| MPV | [MPV](https://mpv.io/) |
#### Protobuf
This is required to build and run termusic. For ubuntu: `apt-get protobuf-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](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/) and [FFmpeg](https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html) to download MP3s from Youtube.
#### Album cover support
For kitty, album cover support is default. For other terminals, need ueberzug/ueberzugpp 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](https://aur.archlinux.org/) using an [AUR helper](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers).
```bash
paru termusic
```
#### NetBSD
NetBSD users can install `termusic` from the official repositories.
```bash
pkgin install termusic
```
#### Nix/NixOS
Either in the user's environment:
```bash
nix-env --install termusic
```
Or declaratively in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`:
```nix
{
environment.systemPackagess = with pkgs; [
...
termusic
];
}
```
#### Cargo
```bash
cargo install termusic termusic-server --locked
```
### From Source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tramhao/termusic.git
cd termusic
make
```
Then install with:
```bash
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](https://github.com/ueber-devel/ueberzug) or [ueberzugpp](https://github.com/jstkdng/ueberzugpp), then:
```bash
make full
```
Finally, you can run it with:
```bash
~/.local/share/cargo/bin/termusic
```
You can copy it anywhere in your `$PATH`. The configuration file for the TUI is located in `~/.config/termusic/tui.toml`, and the configuration file for the server is located in `~/.config/termusic/server.toml` (or on macOS, `~/Library/Application Support/termusic/tui.toml`, `~/Library/Application Support/termusic/server.toml`, respectively).
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.
- [x] Multiple root and easy switch.
- [x] Save playlists.
- [x] Listen to rss feeds/Podcasts. Need a new layout.
