# Basic Commands

Ethos operates entirely via the command line. The following commands allow you to control playback and adjust settings directly from your terminal.

### **1. `/play <track name>`**

Initiates a search for the specified track and starts playback.

**Usage Example:**

```bash
/play never gonna give you up
```

Upon issuing this command, Ethos will display a list of matching tracks. Simply enter the corresponding track number to begin playback.

### 2. `/pause`

Pauses the current playback.

**Usage Example:**

```bash
/pause
```

Use this command to temporarily halt playback. Resume the track later using the `/resume` command.

### 3. `/resume`

Resumes a paused track.

**Usage Example:**

```bash
/resume
```

Restarts playback from the point where the track was paused.

### **4. `/volume <0-100>`**

Adjusts the playback volume.

**Usage Example:**

```bash
/volume 75
```

Specify a value between 0 (mute) and 100 (maximum volume) to control the audio output.
