+
+Day 4: Let the music play! The challenge is stream music from the terminal.  Easy. I moved to self-hosting my music by
+using a server [navidrome](https://www.navidrome.org).  I have been happy with this solution for a long time.  I have a
+[an android client](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/github.daneren2005.dsub) which caches locally so I can listen on the
+go without killing my cell bill.
+
+For the desktop, I have been using [feishin](https://github.com/jeffvli/feishin) which is an electron app.  I stumbled
+across [naviterm](https://gitlab.com/detoxify92/naviterm/) a couple of weeks ago.  The author has been very receptive to
+issues and feature requests which is great.  It connects to my navidrome server, and once I queue up a playlist, it
+hands off to [mpv](https://mpv.io) to play the music.  Works like a treat.  It also supports the same DBUS protocol that
+[playerctl](https://github.com/altdesktop/playerctl) supports so none of my scripts to display current song or change or
+pause songs needed to change to use it.
+
+
+## Daily totals
+Score time!  [Yesterday](/post/2025/06/tui-challenge-day-3/) left us with 80 points.  Scoring today is pretty easy.  10
+points for playing music, 5 for creating a playlist (I have over 50), and 10 for streaming the music. So, 25 points
+today added to the 80 from yesterday gives us 105.
