random play

oh yeah, if you add "-z" or "-Z" to the command line, it will shuffle the playlist. (not sure what the difference is between these two options.)

eg mpg123 -z -@ ~/Music/Playlist.m3u

if you want to skip to the next song, hit control-c. control-c twice quickly will quit playback altogether.

nice thing about mpg123 is it uses about 1/3 the cpu power that itunes does.
