just some notes
Authored by: marcv on May 03, '02 05:58:57AM

A dropbox for mpg123 would be great!
Anyway here are my simple tricks:
Playlists: 1) just type mpg123 <space> in Terminal and drop a whole
bunch of mp3's at once onto the terminal window.
2) Use Mu to make the playlists. type mpg123 -@ and drop the .m3u

Mu is nice, but it uses 15x the memory of mpg123 alone, is based on
a prerelease version and crashes a lot. In one incident mpg123 kept on playing
the playlist after Mu crashed, frontend-fun.

Found another mpg123 based player, mpegToaster, from
http://www.toastedmarshmallow.com/Applications/index.html
They claim to use an optimized version (CoreAudio) of mpg123,
there's also an Altivec optimized version.
this seems to be true, CPU usage is only ±50% of mpg123 on
my iBook.
skips less too. memory usage is very low compared to Mu.
playlist format different from mpg123.
