mpg123 in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own mpg123 package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so mpg123 should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands it gives you

  • mpg123
  • mpg123-alsa
  • mpg123-id3dump
  • mpg123-jack
  • mpg123-nas
  • mpg123-openal
  • mpg123-oss
  • mpg123-portaudio
  • mpg123-pulse
  • mpg123-strip
  • mpg123.bin
  • out123

Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.

Audio and video tools run on the device's processor: Linux apps get no hardware video encoding or decoding, so converting a long video takes a while. Sound plays through the device's own audio output. More in the docs: The Terminal.
