mpg321 is a clone of the popular mpg123 command-line mp3 player. It should
|
|
function as a drop-in replacement for mpg123 in many cases. While some of
|
|
the functionality of mpg123 is not yet implemented, mpg321 should function
|
|
properly in most cases for most people, such as for frontends such as
|
|
gqmpeg.
|
|
|
|
mpg321 is based on the mad MPEG audio decoding library. It therefore is
|
|
highly accurate, and also uses only fixed-point calculation, making it
|
|
more efficient on machines without a floating-point unit.
|
|
|
|
While mpg321 is not as fast as the non-free mpg123 on systems which have a
|
|
floating point unit, it comes under the GNU General Public License, which
|
|
allows greater freedom to its users. For most people who want mpg123,
|
|
mpg321 is a better alternative.
