- 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.
