You can already do this... It is not a cli command though, it is a url protocol.

./youtube-music youtubemusic://playPause will invoke the protocol with playPause as the operation

[ArjixWasTaken]

yes, it is a toggle and not an explicit play/pause

[ArjixWasTaken]

here are the protocol operations: https://github.com/th-ch/youtube-music/blob/master/src/providers/song-controls.ts#L27-L80

@ArjixWasTaken Is there currently any way to do this via the bash shell?

[ArjixWasTaken]

are you implying that what I sent does not work with the bash shell? (bash ain't a terminal)

[horberlan]

I solved it by making a request with curl

I solved it by making a request with curl

that is one way of doing it, you could also directly invoke youtube-music as shown in the snippet I gave you
