#2Reminds me a lot of the mpd (music player daemon) ecosystem. Some mpd clients look just like that:

#3Been using this as my music player for about 3 years now (i've switched to it from foobar2000).
It has very low memory footprint and works great. This is the app that "showed" me how great TUI apps are and i wish more TUI apps would exist as equivalent to GUI ones.

and I wonder what the advantage is vs. MDP. It was a pretty ok "product" when I ran it 10years ago on an old Pentium III notebook with 256MB of memory. I think it still would work if I booted it now.

Agreed and it even responds to global player hotkeys! Love it.

AFAIK, musikcube is the only thing available on Windows. Have been satisfied with it in the past, but now I just use Spotify.

#7This looks great. Does it support streaming to Airplay devices?

#8I tried Musikcube a week ago and it's pretty good aside from that, though once it crashed for some reason. Looks more polished than most TUI applications, though.
Nothing can replace Clementine for me. It can stop playback automatically once a song is finished playing. Imho this is the best feature since the invention of playlists and I don't know why nobody else implements this (except for I think foobar2000 but that's a Windows app).

You could combine it with Snapcast to achieve that

MPD supports Windows: https://www.musicpd.org/download.html
Lots of Windows compatible clients too. In fact quite a few clients are completely OS agnostic (ie web clients)
