QoL features request!!

[valkyrieglasc]

First thing I wanna say was compliment dev in creating and mantaining musikcube! It's really good.

1. Album cover
   why not? it's cool to look at ur fav track's cover

2. Cava support (intergrate inside the terminal instead of create a new windows + color custom base on user's theme)
   I'm in love cava, when I trying out 2 visualizer presets in musikcube it just doesn't fit in my tatse that much...

3 Lyric support (Lrclib, Musixmatch, etc.)
Everyone love to sing to their favourite songs, wouldn't it be cool if we could have it as a feature?

4. add all 4 flavors from catppuchin
   the app alone do allow u to have custom theme... But add presets always a good choice for new user and convinient!

If I may offer a perspective:

• Album cover support means dealing with fractured terminal graphics protocols (iTerm2, Sixel, Kitty, fallback ASCII, etc.) where everyone disagrees with everyone else on what to support.
• Lyrics support is built-in! It's bound to Ctrl-l by default so you might wanna rebind it to Alt-l.
  • The caveat is that, there's only Audd.io which costs $5/1k reqs.
  • Musixmatch API appears to favour being integrated into the app itself rather than BYOK, judging by the pricing scheme.
  • LIBLRC look viable enough, but I wouldn't hold my breath
• Catppuccin is a welcomed idea. I'll play around with it.

Album cover

I suspect this was the plan. Otherwise, it's hard to explain why the covers are saved in ~/.config/musikcube/1/thumbs and indexed in ~/.config/musikcube/musik.db

I just found smth, so there's an app called Versefy on windows which scan a certain application for real time lyrics
the dev said they can make one for musikcube if it hav sdk, so why don't musikcube' dev try contact with versefy for musikcube support :D?

Just to mention - I prefer to have some "proper" terminals i.e. TTY to run musikcube on. It is nice to have a small kitchen computer - a media server on old, compact hardware with a screen and a keyboard that you never intend to run gui on and just do musikcube and use other TTYs to run some shell stuff that might be needed while music is still played on TTY1. I expect images will have a host of additional problems on TTYs.

hello! It's been a while that I made this issue. I am now dualbooting Windows and Linux (EndeavourOS). And I'm totally agree lol, I'm happy with sptlrx for now :D!

@valkyrieglasc - if you don't mind - how do you make musikcube work with sptlrx?

Yep it works well! At some point I will figure out if it can work across 2 TTYs on the same machine or less optimally in the same TTY with screen.
