Here's a repost of another comment I made not long ago of things you can do in the terminal:

Listen to music:

• https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/ncmpc
• https://github.com/Serpentian/subsonic-tui
• https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui
• https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot

Read the news

Download Linux ISOs

And so, so much more!

As others have mentioned on the fly scripting is something I could never do without. Batch renaming with a quick loop, regex searches, parsing webpages, etc. It's so much faster than trying to find a program to do what I want, that probably won't do it exactly like I want.
