I think that's a non sequitur. Millions of people don't understand software
or operating systems at all, but they do understand how to play their music on
their MP3 Players. I repeat that I doubt that many would want to loop a
single track for long.

Well maybe I would if I could. I have said before on this list that I am not
a software developer; I spent most of my life as a Systems Engineer. This
means that I specified what a product should do but not actually do it.
In this instance I suspect I will either live with the error message or do the
looping in Python.
However, I'd still be interested to hear if anyone can shed any light on the
original issue with mpg321 in my other post, since it is clearly a better
solution to my requirement.
