#305 --loop times may not be working as expected

[James Amick]

the man page for --loop times:
--loop times
for looping track(s) a certain number of times, < 0 means infinite loop (not with --random!)

doesn't seem to work quite right when there are multiple files to play, as specified by using a wildcard
in the file parameter. This is under Windows. For example, a complete command of MPG123 in a Win command window might be MPG123 --loop -1 g:\music*.mp3
If there are 4 mp3 files in the \music directory, and you want all 4 files to play in found order forever, you would discover that only the first file plays forever. My desired behavior would be similar to -Z, but the files would play in found order rather than at random. Am I missing something (probably)?

I cannot test this in a UNIX environment, and can only speak to Windows behavior.

This loops each file in your given playlist, one after another, so --loop 2 means playing the first track two times, then the second track two times …

You'd need another parameter like --loop-list or such … but then, this is more easily achieved using a loop in the shell. Any reason you cannot do that?
