Terminal Player
Terminal player is a bare-bones, terminal-based player for DI.fm, somafm.com, and Spotify. It's a thin wrapper around mplayer and libspotify and it outputs a single line of text for each song without using Curses. That's it. A two-line terminal is plenty of room:
16:28:34 [di/lounge] The Sura Quintet - Kept In Perspective
16:29:46 [di/lounge] Michel Petit - Voyage A Tipaza

Spotify Integration
To use Spotify, you must have an account. Set these environment variables to your Spotify deets. In fish:
set -x SPOTIFY_USERNAME yourusername
set -x SPOTIFY_PASSWORD yourpassword
You can search Spotify or Google for the currently playing track by pressing s. See the usage and keybind sections for more.
Installation
$ gem install terminal_player
Or from source:
$ git clone https://github.com/devshane/terminal-player.git
$ cd terminal-player
$ gem build ./terminal_player.gemspec
$ gem install ./terminal_player-0.0.4.gem
Usage
Usage: terminal_player.rb [options] site channel
The `site` parameter can be one of: di, soma, or spotify.
When `site` is di or soma, the channel parameter should be a valid channel.
When `site` is spotify, the channel parameter should be a valid Spotify URI.
Spotify requires two environment variables: SPOTIFY_USERNAME and SPOTIFY_PASSWORD.
DI premium channels require an environment variable: DI_FM_PREMIUM_ID.
-s, --spotify-search Enable spotify URI searches
-c, --cache CACHE_SIZE Set the cache size (KB)
-m, --cache-min CACHE_MIN Set the minimum cache threshold (percent)
-h, --help Display this message
--play-history-path PATH Log the play history to PATH
Enabling -s or --spotify-search requires that you have the Spotify client installed. The option
just means terminal player will try to open Spotify URIs. This probably only works on OS X.
Examples:
# DI premium member, breaks channel
$ set -x DI_FM_PREMIUM_ID abc123; terminal_player di breaks
# DI public breaks channel
$ terminal_player di breaks
# Soma Secret Agent, enable spotify URI searches
$ terminal_player -s soma secretagent130
# Soma Groove Salad, log the song history to the desktop in a folder called played_songs
$ terminal_player --play-history-path ~/Desktop/played_songs soma groovesalad
# Spotify bitchin playlist
$ terminal_player spotify spotify:user:whoknows:playlist:0AykzuRPoExXhCRlazt14O
# Spotify track
$ terminal_player spotify spotify:track:2CTXWl2vo9oLXZaaBhpw2p
