Thanks - I was able to restore my original pausing behaviour by 
including a "pausing=2" line in the configuration file.

However, I can't find any reference in the man page to the displaying on 
the console of ID3 tag information (title, composer, etc.) for MP3 
files.  The -v (verbose) option displays a lot of stuff (even more if I 
specify it twice), but not the tags.

With all the things that mplayer can do, it's hard to believe that the 
ability to display ID3 tag information has been removed.  Does anyone 
have any ideas?
