In any other terminal, or inside a tmux session, just use the normal cmus command. You can now run the command cmus-fingerterm in any of those terminals (prefer Toeterm for better delimiters and overall improved appearance). Make sure you didn't have any other alias for cmus in your ~/.bashrc. To create the alias, run this (only once):Įcho 'alias cmus-fingerterm='TERM=xterm-color & cmus'' > ~/.bashrc & source ~/.bashrc To change TERM only when you run cmus and reset it to default when the terminal is restarted, set a new cmus-fingerterm alias to use in those Fingerterm-related terminals until they are fixed. Solution 2: If tmux is not an option for you, then you'll have to set TERM to xterm-color to fix some of these issues, but manually setting TERM can break other unanticipated things. Solution 1 (recommended): use tmux in those terminals and launch cmus in the tmux session. With their default TERM value, those terminals related to Fingerterm cannot properly redraw lines in some CLI tools. # Partial fix for Fingerterm, Toeterm and Literm Known to work on Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Cygwin… And now Sailfish OS! Can be controlled via UNIX socket using 'cmus-remote' command Can run external commands for the currently selected files (tag-editor for example)

Last.fm or Libre.fm) etc., via status display programs Uses Unicode internally for all string handling Vi style command mode with tab completion Dynamic keybindings you can bind a key to any command, ':seek +1m' for example Powerful playlist filters/live filtering Instant startup, even with thousands of tracks MP3 and Ogg streaming (SHOUTcast/Icecast)

Output: PulseAudio, ALSA, OSS, JACK, RoarAudio, CoreAudio, libao, sndio (OpenBSD), aRts, Sun, and WaveOut (Windows) Input: Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, Opus, Musepack, WavPack, WAV, AAC, MP4, audio CD, and everythign supported by ffmpeg (WMA, APE, MKA, TTA, SHM…), libmodplug and BASS The configuration can also be altered outside cmus by creating a ~/.config/cmus/rc file with the desired options.Ĭmus will ignore overall OS volume and hardware volume rocker may have no effect on playback volume, but volume can be adjusted inside cmus (key - to decrease, keys + or = to increase), as well as L/R balance (keys to increase and to decrease ). Go to settings (key 7) to check current keybindings and options.

Many settings are available to change the colorscheme, default behaviour, keybindings, etc. To add files to the library, go to the browser view (key 5), select the desired folder and add it (key a). cmus is one of the most efficient, functional and friendly players available. Small, fast and powerful console music player for Unix-Like operating systems.

Setting up qCommand with 'cmus-remote ' is also handy for quick actions from cover (see second screenshot). cmus' best experience is with a hardware keyboard in Havoc or in (which even enables touch support), but alternatively you can use the virtual keyboard in Fingerterm, Toeterm and Literm. Run inside a tmux session to combine better delimiters in Fingerterm and Literm, or combine tiled panes with cava or lyvi (soon). If you still need one of those, see the corresponding section below. If you do not need a virtual keyboard, then it is recommended to use Havoc due to Fingerterm, Toeterm and Literm all having redraw issues in some CLI apps.
