compiling freeamp

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Hi Buddy -
I guess I will have to take another look at doing more with mpg123.
BTW - Do you know what is meant by a "frame" in an mp3 file? I was looking
at the switches -k and -n, which can skip and play a specified number of
"frames" - but I am not sure what a "frame" is! 

Chuck.
