## Project history and usage

DZR is a shell-based command-line player for Deezer, with companion utilities for URLs, subtitles/lyrics, decoding, and ID3 metadata. Its repository was created in October 2019 and describes support across Linux, BSD, macOS, Android/Termux, Windows through WSL, and an experimental VSCode extension.

### Project history

The project sits in the tradition of lightweight media CLIs that wrap web APIs and local players. Its README emphasizes few dependencies, live lyrics, metadata tagging from Deezer metadata, and avoiding permanent local music caching.

### Adoption history

The README documents packaging across Homebrew, Arch AUR, Gentoo GURU, Snap, Flatpak, Nix flakes, Termux-style manual install, and VSCode VSIX releases. GitHub API metadata showed 253 stars and 20 forks on 2026-06-30, suggesting a niche but established CLI-media audience.

### How it is used

Typical usage is interactive browsing with `dzr`, opening a specific Deezer API path, playing a track URL, piping playback through a chosen PLAYER such as mpv or mpg123, generating SRT lyrics with `dzr-srt`, or tagging MP3 files with `dzr-id3`.

### Why package nerds care

DZR is package-nerd interesting because it is a tiny shell media stack distributed through many packaging channels, with helper executables that expose specific parts of the workflow rather than hiding everything behind one large application.

### Timeline

- 2019-10-15: Public GitHub repository created.
- 2021: README links to an asciinema CLI preview and notes legal constraints around playback without local caching.
- 2026: Repository remained active, with the GitHub API showing a push in March 2026.

### Related projects

- The README points users toward dzr-tagged frontends and documents integration with local players such as mpv and mpg123, plus a VSCode extension build.
