ed music volume 0.4
ed music volume 1 --player spotify
ed music volume 0.25 --json

The level is checked before anything is sent: outside 0 to 1 exits 2 with volume must be between 0 and 1, and a value that is not a number exits 2 as a parse failure. Spotify and Apple Music take a percentage, so the fraction is multiplied by 100 and rounded on the way out and divided by 100 on the way back in status. The JSON reports only what was done and to whom; read the level back with ed music status --json.
