{
  "shuffle": true
}

ed music shuffle
ed music shuffle on
ed music shuffle off --json

Reading prints on or off. Setting prints shuffle on or shuffle off and writes the musicShuffling preference, which is the same key ed config set musicShuffling true writes and the same footer toggle the UI shows. The write lands whether or not Edith is running; the notification that tells a live player to reorder its queue only matters when one is listening, so this never exits 4.

The words are matched case-insensitively. A word that is not one of them exits 1, not 2, with <state> is not on or off and the hint pass on, off, true or false.
