Score: 7.5/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

Spotatui is a Rust-based music player that runs in the terminal (with a desktop GUI in preview) and supports multiple sources including Spotify, local files, Subsonic, internet radio, YouTube, Qobuz, and Apple Music. It bypasses Spotify's web API rate limits by using a built-in client (based on a librespot fork), and adds features like synced lyrics, Lua plugins, an AI DJ, and MCP integration. It's an ambitious fork of spotify-tui that has grown into a multi-source player with a rich feature set.

Target audience: developers, terminal enthusiasts, music power users
