Spotify-tui has unfortunately been abandoned by the author, and since then, the Spotify API changed signficantly, breaking this project.

Please use spotify_player: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player, which is more feature-packed and more convenient.

Was annoyed by this issue for days because I didn't realise the project was unmaintained. Definitely my fault for not reading this issue or #1000, but is it possible to mark the repo as archived so it's not confusing to new users?

I've contacted the owner years ago, they have not responded and have shown no interest in showing any progress. Users will remain lost, and the best that can be done is to notify users in bug reports (much like im doing) and removing it from repositories.
