kew is a terminal music player with a library browser, playlists, gapless playback, album artwork, a spectrum visualizer, and lyrics. Optional: faad2 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/faac/) 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. See kew(1), kew(5), kewrc(5), and kewstaterc(5) for usage and settings. 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.
