cmus-remote
DESCRIPTION
Add FILE/DIR/PLAYLIST to playlist, library (-l) or play queue (-q).If no arguments are given cmus-remote reads raw commands from stdin (one command per line). Raw commands are cmus' command mode commands. These same commands are used in configuration files and key bindings. cmus(1) contains full list of commands. For consistency also searching is supported: -C /text.
When -C is given all command line arguments are treated as raw commands.
