The -O is to interrupt broken downloads and the - downloads to stdin?

It is available in 24K streams.

I searched on streaming MP3 and classical and the sites I found do not 
have files ending in .mp3.

http://www.classicaliscool.com/audiocomposers/vonsuper.asx
(lynx thinks this is video-ms-asf)
This is the Poets and Peasants Overture, which we heard yesterday played 
by 16 members of a Tuba and Euphonium Ensemble.


There is Rock at http://wmbr.org/WMBR_live_24.m3u


http://www.di.fm/mp3 has files in .asx  or .pls (audio/x-scpls)
and they say the MP3 files are 96K and the AAC+ streams are 24K

Is AAC+ the same as .pls?

http://www.mostlyclassical.com/mp3/classical24k.pls

None of these are .mp3.  I played at making an mp3 file from a CD and it 
was .mp3, as was something I once downloaded to play with dosamp.  I don't 
know if mpg123 can handle .m3u or .asx or .pls formats.

So I went to www.mpg123.de and after many brief waits learned that the 
current version 0.59r has some serious security problems and should not be 
downloaded.  So do other recent versions, so I presume the precompiled
mpg123-0.59q-1.i386.rpm should not be downloaded.

Does the SW7.1 mpg123 work at the above URLs?

Progress on zip BL3 - the zip disk was bad, could not be formatted, so I 
got another two and may use 60MB for linux so I can add opera to show 
people what is possible.  Maybe I can even show them streaming mp3 but 
they would need to have SB16 for me to use Christof's sb package.
