NAME
        mpg321 -- Free clone of mpg123, a command-line mp3 player
 
SYNOPSIS
        mpg321 [options] file(s) | URL(s) | -
 
DESCRIPTION
        mpg321  is  a free command-line mp3 player, which uses the
        mad audio decoding library. mpg321  is  written  to  be  a
        drop-in  replacement for the non-free mpg123 player.  Some
        functions remain unimplemented, but mpg321 should function
        as  a  basic drop-in replacement for mpg123 frontends such
        as gqmpeg, and those programs which use mpg123  to  decode
        mp3  files  (like  gtoaster,  and other CD-recording soft­
        ware).
 
OPTIONS
        -o devicetype
                  Set the output device type to  devicetype:  cur­
                  rently  either  esd  or alsa, for the Enlightend
                  Sound Daemon or ALSA. See -a device, below.
 
        -a device, --audiodevice device
                  Use device for audio-out instead of the  default
                  device,  depending  on  the output device you've
                  chosen (via -o device).  By default this is  the
                  native  sound  device.   For -o esd, specify the
                  host; defaults to localhost.  For -o alsa, spec­
                  ify card:device; defaults to 0:0.
 
        -g N, --gain N
                  Set gain (volume) to N (1-100).
 
        -k N, --skip N
                  Skip N frames into the file being played.
 
        -@ list, --list list
                  Use  the  file  list  for  a  playlist. The list
                  should be in a format of filenames followed by a
                  linefeed.  Unlike  mpg123, multiple -@ or --list
                  commands can be specified;  each  file  will  be
                  concatenated  with  the  files  specified on the
                  command-line to produce one master playlist.
 
 
        -z, --shuffle
                  Shuffle playlists and  files  specified  on  the
                  command-line.    Produces    a   randomly-sorted
                  playlist which is then played through once.
 
        -Z, --random
                  Randomize playlists and files specified  on  the
                  command-line. Files are played through, choosing
                  at random; this means that random files will  be
                  played for as long as mpg321 is running.
 
        -v, --verbose
                  Be   more  verbose.  Show  current  byte,  bytes
                  remaining, time, and time remaining, as well  as
                  more information about the mp3 file.
 
        -s, --stdout
                  Use stdout instead of an audio device.
 
        -w N, --wav N
                  Write  to  wav file N instead of using the audio
                  device.
 
        -t, --test
                  Test mode; do no output at all.
 
 
        -q, --quiet
                  Quiet mode; suppress output  of  mpg123  boiler­
                  plate and file and song name.
 
 
        --help, --longhelp
                  Show summary of options.
 
        -V, --version
                  Show version of program.
