Keep cmus from changing terminal title

1

Whenever I run cmus on Terminal.app, it insists on changing the terminal title to the currently playing song. And since cmus is in a separate tab almost all the time, it looks quite ugly:

Ugliness

And when I quit cmus, the title stays like this. The only way to get it back (AFAIK) is to close the tab and open a new one to replace it.

Is there any way to keep cmus from changing the terminal title altogether?

@Ignacio: That would be fine, if I wanted all that in my terminal title. Is there any way to get it back to where there is nothing in my title, except for what Terminal.app itself provides? – Wuffers – 2011-07-10T03:25:25.673

Dunno. Try putting nothing between the ; and the \007. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams – 2011-07-10T03:29:06.340

@Ignacio: That works, but I'm really looking for how to keep cmus from setting it at all. – Wuffers – 2011-07-10T03:34:43.917

That's why I didn't pose it as an answer. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams – 2011-07-10T03:48:09.070

Run $ cmus and enter the command

:set set_term_title=false

Exit cmus and it will not change the title anymore.

cmus with set_term_title = false Image: cmus with set_term_title set to false
