    Hello,

    this package recommends mpg321. mpg321 is dead upstream (last change
    2012, about 12 years ago), it was initially created because of license
    issues with mpg123, however mpg123 moved to Debian main in 2006.

    Please consider moving to another player, e.g. mpg123. mpg123 license
    nowadays is LGPL-2.1, while mpg321 uses GPL-2+. Since LGPL-2.1 can be relicensed to GPL-2+ there should not be any problemds on that side.

    cu Andreas
