I also prefer TUI over Ajax GUI but here I think we don't have the tools and environment that define a real TUI. For example, can I pipe the genre list to grep or sort or awk? Can I script a player in a cronjob? I doubt it (cannot check because on a phone)

TUI, seriously? It's been called CLI for years.

CLI is for dealing with an application or system through its command line: "apt-get install foo"

TUI are usually curses-based interfaces that live in the terminal and have menu, windows and sometime support for interacting with them with the mouse (for example aptitude or alsa-mixer).
