[CLUE-Tech] MP3 Player needed

[David Willson]

Pardon my bandwidth-chewing "me too" post...

I too, will recommend mpg123 for your need here.  Here's one of the many
ways I use mine:
    I start in the root of my MP3 tree.
    'find -iname "*.mp3" > Music'
    'mpg123 --random --verbose --list Music'
This sequence starts a 17GB jukebox, where anything can happen, and
usually does...

We just heard from Metallica, DC Talk, Enya, Willie Nelson, Dream
Theater, and Jean Michelle Jarre.
If you're not quite twitching yet, I have the Carpenters ready to spin
after this important message from Linus Torvalds!
