Is mpg123 still maintained?

I moved to mpv (or mplayer2 on another computer), where I created a
playlist. I assume it works for mpg123 too.

So one line per song in a text file, which is your playlist. Let's call
it "music.pls".

I recommend using absolute paths, like

/home/your_user/Music/Some_Song.mp3

in case things moving around.

Then

mpv -shuffle -vo=null --playlist=music.pls

to play.
