kew is a terminal music player with a library browser, playlists, gapless playback, album artwork, a spectrum visualizer, and lyrics. Optional: faad2 provides an alternative AAC decoder. Install it and build with FAAD=yes to enable it. The default build uses the bundled AAC decoder. Run kew as your normal user. Set your music library with: kew path /path/to/music Run "kew" to browse it, or "kew artist-or-album" to search and play. Album artwork rendering depends on your terminal's graphics support. Desktop notifications and MPRIS integration are enabled. No file capabilities or system-wide audio scheduling changes are applied.
