Seen on C.O.L.A.

Hello,

I have released a new version of mp3blaster, version 2.0b7. Mp3blaster
is an interactive text-based program that plays mp3 audio files. It is
one of the very few mp3 players for the text console that allows full
interactive control during playback. One of its key features is the
ability to compose a very flexible playlist.

Important changes from 2.0b6 are:
- -command-line option that might reduce skips on slower CPU's.
- -several bugfixes. If 2.0b6 didn't work for you, upgrading might help.
- -added 'mp3tag' program to change/add/replace ID3 tags using command-line
 parameters.
- -more attempts to further reduce audible 'snap's between numbers.
- -A manual
