15.0 > Audio > kew (4.3.8)

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.
