NOTE: due to a wikimedia quirk, all articles must begin with a capital letter, thus this article is likely forever misnamed.
mpg123 is a free, partially open source minimalistic command line audio player for Linux and Unix-like operating systems, which is particularly well suited to older computers. It only supports MPEG-1 and -2, layers 1, 2 and 3 (which includes MP3).
Playing Whole Wheat Radio
To play a Whole Wheat Radio stream, load a terminal emulator or return to the system prompt, then enter:
mpg123 -y http://64.62.252.134:2680/ (or :2670 for the slow stream)
Enter man mpg123 for the online manual pages that describe the other command line switches you can use to customise how the audio plays, the application's verbosity and so forth.
