Need a better Spotify client that looks cool and uses 2GB less memory? Try Cliamp, inspired by Winamp. Beautiful little TUI.

If you want more terminal workflows beyond listening to music, I share my note-taking, writing, macOS, Linux, SQL Editor, engineering, and more workflows at

Tried it a couple days ago, fully hooked. Just need to wire it up to the default audio output or it defaults to the machine speakers

I assume they do but when I tried it I installed on my headless mini and when those speakers went off (for the first time ever) I was not expecting it ahah

If you care about battery drainage, then make sure to disable the visualizer (CTRL + V --> none), otherwise it will use more CPU% than the Spotify launcher.

Cliamp is great. Growing up on XMMS, I missed the original too much.

This was a cool surprise when I booted up. Now I can put this in the background and barely touch memory on my old laptop.

That's so cool! I wonder if there is a youtube music equivalent

It works with YouTube music, and many others too. Just type `cliamp setup` in your terminal after installation.

This can be helpful. I unironically close the Spotify app when I am running docker containers. Because my laptop can't take it. And I'm on Linux Debian
