A new release: Terminaldrome 0.9.7 is out

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 17:20:34 +0200

v0.9.7 — the lyrics follow the song

The lyrics view now follows the song. A track whose lyrics carry timestamps gets the line that is being sung marked and the view scrolling to keep it in sight, so the words can be read along with the music instead of hunted for.

New in 0.9.7

🎤 Lyrics that follow the song — press Shift+Y and the line being sung is marked, the lines already past are dimmed, and the view scrolls to keep up on its own. Read the words along with the music instead of hunting for them.
📝 Lyrics that admit when they have no timings — a track whose lyrics arrive without timestamps says ohne Zeitangaben in the title bar. They are shown exactly as before, but a still page was otherwise indistinguishable from a feature that is not working.
📜 LRC parsing — [mm:ss.xx] and [mm:ss:xx], several timestamps on one line, unsorted lines, and section markers such as [Chorus].
🔀 A source switch is a round trip — each of Navidrome and Bandcamp keeps the view it was left in, so going to the other server and back returns to the same artist, album or playlist at the same place in its list.

Two changes behind the first one are worth knowing about if you maintain a server: the timings live in structuredLyrics, which reaches clients through getLyricsBySongId, not in the plain getLyrics response. TerminalDrome asks for that endpoint first and falls back to getLyrics for servers without the OpenSubsonic extension, so nothing is required of you and no track loses lyrics it could be shown before.

Hello everyone, I am proud to announce the release of TerminalDrome 0.9.5 with some major changes to everything. Space acts now as pause and not as stop and the ASCII Covers now renders as a block so it should look better now.

A lot of bugfixes and minor improvements so 0.9.5 should be really stable, more about all the improvements here.

TerminalDrome now also features on AwesomeTUI.com, a curated List of beautiful TUI Terminal Programms like TerminalDrome is.
