I'm pretty good with Linux and follow the instructions OK but, like you,
I still get the warning and I know 100% that my mp3s are CBR !!!

I've tried madplay which seemed to work OK (and didn't complain about
the mpg3) but it seemed to emphasize the sibilants more than mpg123 - it
may have just been the volume but mpg123 sounded clearer.

ATB,
