I really like the terminal media player cmus.

I would like to have Ubuntu Sound Menu integration with cmus, so I can skip tracks, see the album art, etc.

Is this possible?

Cmus does not natively support playback control via D-Bus/MPRIS. To my knowledge there is no third party plugin providing MPRIS control of cmus, at least I couldn't find any. Therefore we can not integrate it to the Indicator Sound menu the way we use to other MPRIS-capable players.

As an alternative to the sound menu you may want to have a look at some projects that allow remote cmus control via a web-interface or an Android app, or aid in displaying player status.

The latest cmus pre-release (2.8) now supports MPRIS. You can use and install playerctl to control its behavior. F.e.

playerctl next
playerctl prev
playerctl pause
