mpg321

High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 Audio Player for Layer 1, 2, and 3.

Mpg321 was written (sometime in 1999) to be a drop-in replacement for the (previously) non-free mpg123 player.

• Play an audio source exactly N times (N=0 means forever):

mpg321 -l {N} {path/to/file_a|URL} {path/to/file_b|URL} {...}

• Play a directory recursively:

mpg321 -B {path/to/directory}

• Enable Basic Keys ( `*` or `/` - Increase or decrease volume, `n` - Skip song, `m` - Mute/unmute.) while playing:

mpg321 -K {path/to/file_a|URL} {path/to/file_b|URL} {...}

• Play files randomly until interrupted:

mpg321 -Z {path/to/file_a|URL} {path/to/file_b|URL} {...}

• Shuffle the files before playing them once:

mpg321 -z {path/to/file_a|URL} {path/to/file_b|URL} {...}

• Play all files in the current directory and subdirectories, randomly (until interrupted), with Basic Keys enabled:

mpg321 -B -Z -K .
