That note is under the heading "2012-06-10, Sunday :: MPlayer 1.1 released"
On what I retrieve it says:
News
2022-02-27, Sunday :: MPlayer 1.5 released
which at only ~3 years old seems reasonable recent ;}
13 years later, I am not having any trouble playing mp3 files with it.
I think you can infer any popular audio media player is going to work
with the most common audio file format indefinitely.
Reading your initial question more closely, I don't quite understand
what you are looking for with "automatically generated time stamps".
Mplayer is going to display the timestamp. You are going to have to
depend on some mechanism like cutting and pasting or reading and
typing to transfer the timestamp to where you are recording it. With a
little hacking to the source code, maybe you could bind a keystroke to
do something clever, like putting the timestamp into a cut buffer, but
that doesn't sound like that kind of hacking is in your wheelhouse.
I'm not a programmer. On a purpose designed app "live" note taking would
be designed in.
There is a thread that talks about some options for recording
timestamps to a file here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=238889
I only read far enough to see that there was some vague relevance to
your question. That isn't a warranty that it will tell you exactly
what to do. Further research is an exercise for the reader.
That thread looks interesting. I'm preparing to leave for an
appointment. I'll have lots of time this weekend.
