🔍 Search & metadata

These commands are read-only catalogue lookups. They print IDs in the first column — copy those IDs into fav, playlist, open, and url commands.

ID types matter. Album IDs are long strings (e.g. 0634904032432); artist, track, and playlist IDs are numbers. The CLI accepts whatever you paste — just keep the right value with the right command.
