The version of the NTFS driver that you are using doesn't support mmaped files. Since NTFS support is currently sketchy at best, this doesn't suprise me much. Newer kernel versions _might_ fix it, or might not. You may want to look around for Linux NTFS driver specific changelog/notes... there may be a patch that makes it work. If not, you'll need to move your MP3's to another filesystem that does support mmap if you want to use mpg321, or keep using XMMS. M
