Force mplayer to play song once


Hi, I'm trying to play a song by:
mplayer song.mpg

The problem is that song is played over and over again. I want to hear it just once ; )
Does anybody know what option should I use ?
-loop 1 seems to have no effect.

Odd, mplayer should play the file once as per default behavior...
Where do you put the -loop 1 option? Before the filename?

you can try deleting mplayers settings folder, expecially if this behaviour didn't happen before.

ooooh my mistake, of course it plays it just once. For some reason I've got the same sound a couple of times inside one file.
Oh my, remove this thread ; )
