    It's a cli music-player but easier than any gui one I've ever worked with. Spend 5 minutes reading this tutorial and you'll never use other music-player.

    It's the most lightweight music player I have found so far--compared with mplayer, mpv, and the GUI based players.
    The downside is that it doesn't support https streaming:
