It looks like --index is a good way of avoiding the problem. I really like the --buffer option though and will continue to use that with an older mpg123 release (due to an unrelated NFS client incompatibility I ran into that leads to update problems). Thanks! Feel free to close this.
Using the default -o alsa was the cause of audio distortion and using -o pulse instead avoids that. Thanks! Will try using --index more instead of --buffer .
When I tried -i / --index with 1.25.13, when using the command-line: mpg123 --index --smooth -C FILE.mp3 I experienced audio distortion at the beginning before it jumps into the single file, later in its contents. The version might be too old, so I might try --index in a future version after I update the Linux install in the future. The file I was experimenting with is larger, (41863756 bytes, i.e., Jethro Tull - Thick As a Brick) if that is relevant.,
Thank you for the suggestion. I will try using -i / --index instead of -b for NFS delays.
It seems like you would prefer using "--preload 1" which must be maximizing the input buffer. The reason I was using "-b 65536" was to avoid any potential NFS delays that would impact playback. The man page for version 1.25.13 (dated 29 Feb 2016) says "If you suffer from short network outages, you should try the -b option (buffer) to bypass such outages.". So, based on the man page "-b" should be more appropriate for network trouble. I understand this current track output problem has existed for...

The decoder library moved on to the next track while the buffer still plays the old one. Considering that this has been that way for rather many years, since the buffer first entered, we might call it a feature request to do otherwise. It can be done, but people weren't bothered enough by the current state...

command-line argument -b causes current track output to be invalid
free stock quotes
Hi Gary, I did look at it. Their service requires a "free" API key, and the only reason to do that is to make it easier to charge money for the service later. They can do bandwidth throttling and more limited services without the API key. If you ignore that, the other problem is that it is unlikely they will provide a decent selection of preferred stock price data for free, because preferred stock price data is a bit more obscure than the typical blue chips that are often used as example price data....
Preferred Stock not working
Also, it is possible to webscrape the data at finance.yahoo.com or finance.google.com, though normally the html and javascript is done to make this a difficult process, and the interface changes enough that it would make the price quote information a brittle dependency. So, I would like to avoid that approach.
Hi Gary, PreferredSearch will currently be broken unless there is a new release, because the finance.yahoo.com price quote service was shutdown on 2017-11-01. The finance.google.com price quote service was shutdown previous to this, so a smaller company would need to be used to get the same information, though it seems unlikely that decent free preferred stock price quotes will be available from a small company. The other free price quote data normally requires an api key be created which is likely...
