Hmmm... I don't think all the perfect scheduling in the WORLD is going
to help a DX2/66 play .mp3's decently. You might want to try something
like mpg123 that'll allow buffering of the file so you don't get as many
skips. You'll probably even end up playing them at something around
22kHz and mono... Been along time since I've owned a DX2/66.
