Hi,

What is the purpose of device_id, e.g. in which context is it used? Is it only a unique random ID, or does it have any meaning?

Thanks!

The device_id is the identifier of the device you wish to control with spotify-tui.

spotify-tui does not handle the playback directly, instead it uses the Spotify API to control a plaback device (you might be running the official client or spotifyd). This is the device identified by device_id.
