About

cmus music player (android) is an open-source Android application that brings the cmus music player to devices with native touch controls and Android system integration. It is intended for Android users who want to manage and play music through cmus while using a touch-oriented interface. The application is listed in the Video & Media Players category and supports Android 14 and later.

The interface adds touch-friendly components around cmus, including a top bar with live filtering, view selection, and settings. A bottom bar provides controls for play, repeat, shuffle, seeking, volume, the queue, and the keyboard. Users can long-press tracks or playlists to add or remove them, while a joystick supports scrolling and switching between panes or views. A graphical settings view exposes most of the relevant configuration options, and the interface can use Material You colors that match the selected cmus theme.

The player supports music stored on external storage, album art, a sleep timer, font options, data import and export, and sub-second seeking accuracy. It continuously saves its state and uses relative library paths so that imported and exported data works correctly. Android system media controls and metadata are supported, along with audio ducking. To reduce power use, the application stops the cmus process after it has been idle for a while and restarts it when the application is focused or media buttons are used.

MirrorNest distributes the official build directly from its own storage rather than describing a separate modified release. Each mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published. This distribution model places the application in the Android software catalog while retaining its open-source status and its focus as a touch-enabled cmus music player.
