I'm not sure who's this responsibility lies with, but I suspect something a little funny's going on. If I run ogg123 with arguments being tracknames, it consumes 60% of my processing resources: i.e. find /u1/media -name "*.ogg"| xargs ogg123 -z (with or without shuffling, it uses the same amount) But, if i write a list to a playlist, it uses 8% of resources: find /u1/media -name "*.ogg" > /u1/media/playlist.txt ogg123 -z -@ /u1/media/playlist.txt Any ideas!?!
