I can only speak from experience here but in using mpg123 with
a directory full of *.mp3 files I had to do a script that first
killed "artsd" then ran my mpg123 script. While *inside* the
music directory with a list of the mp3 files inside the text
file called "playlist.lst" I run a script called "go" and all
works well.
I run this out of command line.
#!/bin/sh
#
for i in `ps -auxw|grep artsd|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'`; do
kill -9 $i; done
mpg123 -v -v -Z -@ playlist.lst
