TerminalDrome 0.7.3 released

July 06, 2026 — Jan Montag

We released TerminalDrome 0.7.X with new features. Likes and Audiovisuals.

What's new in 0.7.3

❤️ Like songs — press Shift+L while a song is playing to mark it as a favorite in Navidrome.
The current song gets a permanent heart (❤️) next to its title in the song list.
Visual feedback in the status bar confirms when a song is liked.
The heart stays visible when switching views or restarting the app.
Keyboard shortcut: Shift+L (L for Like) – easy to remember, doesn't conflict with Shift+H for help.
With Shift+E you can start the audiovisual mode (like cava) and with ESC you can close while song is playing.

Easiest way to get the actual version of TerminalDrome is

cargo install terminaldrome

Version 0.6.0 of TerminalDrome released

June 03, 2026 — Jan Montag

A terminal-based music client for Navidrome (and other Subsonic-compatible servers), written in Rust.

Features

What's new in 0.6.0

🔀 Shuffle Mode — press Shift+S while in any song list (album, playlist, or Jukebox queue) to instantly shuffle and restart playback. The currently playing song panel and progress bar turn magenta so you always know shuffle is active.

What was new in 0.5.x

🎉 Party / Jukebox Mode (Shift+J) — streams your entire library in random order. Songs are fetched from the server in batches in the background, so even a library with tens of thousands of tracks works without loading everything into memory at once.

The new Jukebox Mode plays my entire library

TerminalDrome Features

May 28, 2026 — Jan Montag

I’m happy to announce that TerminalDrome has been officially added to the crates.io repository. This means you can now install and use TerminalDrome on your system with a simple

cargo install terminaldrome

command. I’ve also added the ability to use playlists in TerminalDrome, which wasn’t available before. You can use the TAB key to switch the left pane to the playlists. In the middle, you’ll see information about the playlist, and on the right, the songs it contains. Otherwise, there were many bug fixes: one was a buffer overflow at the end of a song, which caused the runtime to be recalculated and resulted in a crash. Another was a large number of warnings, which I’ve resolved.

I look forward to your feedback and appreciate any comments you may have.

New TerminalDrome Release 0.3.3

May 28, 2026 — Jan Montag

Hi, now that I’ve spent a lot of time working on my Linux PC build — you can read about it here. I’ve turned my attention back to my TerminalDrome software.

The biggest change is the possibility to switch via TAB Key to your playlists.

As you know, I’m a big fan of self-hosting, which is why I host my own music, among other things. And TerminalDrome is the little Navidrome terminal player.

New Version of TerminalDrome

February 27, 2026 — Jan Montag

After nine long months of laziness and overindulgence, I finally sat down again to work on my beautiful terminal client for Navidrome, TerminalDrome, and implemented a few bug fixes. I also made sure it continues to run everywhere and improved the code quality a bit.

I am proud to announce TerminalDrome 0.2.3 for your pleasure.

New Version 0.2.2 of TerminalDrome

June 02, 2025 — Jan Montag

I just finished the work on TerminalDrome 0.2.2 and I am really proud of it, because I don't know nothing about Rust programming language but the Terminal NaviDrome Client is running very well :-)

TerminalDrome started, Cover Art, no artist or album chosen

TerminalDrome 0.2.0 is available

May 21, 2025 — Jan Montag

I am proud to announce the release of TerminalDrome 0.2.0 as a feature-rich stable version to the public. It is still alpha but it works on a daily basis here on my Powermac G5 or the Mac Mini M4.

TerminalDrome Splash Screen

There are compiled binaries available for arm64, ppc64 and armhf. But TerminalDrome will build on every Linux with Rust and Cargo.

New Release of TerminalDrome on Github

May 19, 2025 — Jan Montag

Since I recently discovered how relaxing programming can be, I've been tinkering with my Navidrome-compatible terminal client called TerminalDrome almost every day.

I've now integrated a new feature, which I've moved to Main:

A simple search function:

Press slash / and the search will open.
Enter the search term, press Enter, and you'll see the search results in the right panel.
It's neither alphabetically sorted nor otherwise organized.
Additionally, there's a feature in the leftmost panel where you can jump directly to the beginning of the respective artist by pressing a letter of your choice. So if I press D, I'll land on D.A.F., or Q on Queens Of The Stone Age—you get it?

My TerminalDrome CLient in Search Mode

I'm very proud.

TerminalDrome is written in Rust and can be downloaded and compiled using the following command. You'll need the Rust toolchain and mpv.

git clone https://github.com/thafaker/termnavi.git TerminalDrome
cd TerminalDrome
cargo build && cargo run

I've also explained this on my Github repo.

TerminalDrome is evolving

May 14, 2025 — Jan Montag

My little Terminal Navidrome Project TerminalDrome is evolving and works a little bit better from day to day. So, what is working?

safes the state of the panes to come back later
in pane 4 it shows the elapsed time and a small bar is going to 100%
it plays the songs of an album from 1 to last

What does not work:

it won't changes the now playing bar when a new song is playing

This is a screenshot of my real Powermac G5 running TerminalDrome in the wild.

TermNavi is renamed in TerminalDrome

May 11, 2025 — Jan Montag

Because there's already a Terminal Navidrome client called NaviTerm, and I don't really like my name TermNavi, I decided to rename my software TerminalDrome. Of course, that sounds completely stupid, but at least it's better than a copy.

I think my software will soon become famous.

Oh, and it doesn't even work properly yet. :-)

TermNavi Terminal Navidrome Client ppc64

May 08, 2025 — Jan Montag

So the other day I tried to connect to my Navidrome MP3 Streaming Server, I call it "Spotify at Home", via Webinterface to listen to some music, but there were no way to do this. The Webbrowsers available are too old. Sad.

So I decided to programm a really small Navidrome Terminal Client called TermNavi (yes I know... need better name) to listen to my MP3. And what shall I say? The first implementation is ready. I tested and successfully compiled on aarch64 (my MacMini M4) and the legendary Powermac G5 with ARCH Linux or Debian Sid ppc64.

So this it is:

MVP for playback
Rust for pgramming
Ratatui für the Terminal UI (TUI)
a Powermac G5 with PPC Linux

Really happy, it is my first rust project.

known bugs

State handling is missing
UI Rendering for more selections
scroll logic is worst

And as a now cool hacker guy, I pushed everything in my github repo. But don't expect too much, I am a worst programmer, I often do not understand what is going on and I have everything in one file, the main.rs :-)
