Play MP3 from the command line

My favorite software is mpg123 because it is simple and doens't need a lot of resources. Start it with the -C parameter, so you will be able to enter command during the play.

mpg123 -C /path/to/your/mp3/album/*

Type h during the play to display the available commands.
