That's why I mentioned mpg123 earlier in the thread. Most mp3 players in
the Linux world require a mess of dependencies.

Call me old fashioned, but I prefer a static, single binary to perform a
simple task like playing a mp3 file - you know, the Unix way, do one thing
and do it self-cointained.

When I've the time, I''ll put up a site just to provide statically linked
builds of tools like mpg123 (if needed, I'm not sure it needs any
dependencies or external libs), one I can run even while booting from a
LiveCD without messing with dnf or having to touch the dnf databases
(which, as you know, is time consuming on the initial run).

The more I think it, the more sense http://sta.li/ makes. :-p
