Whatever you can set in the command line option can go in that file, at least the man page says that :-) For more details check "man mplayer", look for the section "CONFIGURATION FILES".
Thanks - I was able to restore my original pausing behaviour by including a "pausing=2" line in the configuration file.
However, I can't find any reference in the man page to the displaying on the console of ID3 tag information (title, composer, etc.) for MP3 files. The -v (verbose) option displays a lot of stuff (even more if I specify it twice), but not the tags.
With all the things that mplayer can do, it's hard to believe that the ability to display ID3 tag information has been removed. Does anyone have any ideas?
