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 has been tested to work with gqmpeg. It should work with -other frontends, but isn't guaranteed. mpg321 is built on top of -libmad, which was written by Robert Leslie, and is a fully ISO-compliant -MPEG decoder, meaning it's very accurate. It also operates entirely -within fixed-point arithmetic. +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. -ID3 tags are not supported at all, yet. +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. + +WWW: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpg321/ |
