Re: [mpg123-users] High memory usage

[Aristos V. <ar...@ar...>]

Hi

- I am using the latest version of Raspbian
- I am working with the mpg123 binary
- Just one instance of mpg123 is running (to my knowledge)
- This is the command I am using: /usr/bin/mpg123 -Z -q -f 57236 
/root/media/* &
- I will be able to provide time data in a few hours as I don't have 
access on the pi right now.

I hope this info helps
