Hi! I'm using spt with spotifyd. I've noticed that if a song is playing and I exit spt then the music continues until I actually exit spotifyd (i'm running it with --no-daemon). I would've expected the music to stop upon exiting spt. Is this a feature? Thanks in advance.

spotify-tui is just a frontend to the spotify web api. It doesn't actually play the songs. That is done by spotifyd.
So closing spotify-tui should not stop the other process that actually plays the songs provided by spotify. Imagine this: You want to change the song playing on your phone through your computer. If you open spotify-tui, change the song and then close spotify-tui again, the music should not stop, right?

Anyway, if you want to just stop spotifyd upon exiting spotify-tui on your local computer, you could create a wrapper script.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
spotifyd && spt && killall spotifyd

Thanks. I guess it makes total sense.
