I think this is because mpg123 does not buffer like Realaudio or WMP do.

If you wget it to start the download, then use mpg123 to play it, you'll
get pseudo-buffering.

I have not managed to get this working - I just get the help page for mpg123 and 'broken pipe'

wget -O - http://audio.ibiblio.org:8000/wdav-24k|mpg123

Is the above correct?

I also tried mpg123 `(paste in the above string not including |mpg123)`


www.classicalwebcast.com lists many others but most of the links no
longer work and if they do I got 'illegal header' (would not play)
or 'connection refused' or once 'Server Full 504'
(http://audio.ibiblio.org:8000/wdav-24k).

That must be very popular.

I just got through to wdav at 24Kbit/sec 16000 Hz mono!

Still a bit choppy but I would not want lower sampling rate.

Is there some linux mp3 player that buffers better?

Quite a few. Xmms, x11amp, MPlayer, Xine...

These all sound like large GUIs. I will look more into mpg321 and mp3blaster.


However, if you can't play it without chopping, it may be
beyond the limits of your connection anyway. If only there
were more streams in Vorbis or Speex...
