Terminal music players with visualizers

This cluster comprises terminal-based music players and visualizers, often integrating with Music Player Daemon (MPD) to display album art, synced lyrics, and animated visualizations. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only 4 entries exist before the index start. Traction is led by music-tui with 22 stars.
