Generally speaking, I like mpg123. But I have two major gripes with it.
First: you have to invoke it with -C to enable control keys. Hello? I WANT
TO CONTROL MY MUSIC. It should have been the reverse, with a flag to
/disable/ control keys. Second - when I hit 'p' to pause, it doesn't
actually pause. It just loops the same half-a-second over and over and
over. Audibly! If you're going to do some kind of cheesy hack like that, at
least for God's sake mute the sound. Ugh.
