cmus (C* Music Player) is a small and fast console audio player for Unix-like operating systems.cmus is distributed under the terms of the GPL-2.0-or-later and operates exclusively through a text-based user interface, built with ncurses. The text-only design reduces the resources needed to run the program, making it a strong choice for older or less-powerful computers as well as systems where a graphical environment (such as the X Window System) is not available.
