-mpg321 is a completely free clone of mpg123.
+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 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.
