[n6tadam at laptop n6tadam]$ apt-cache show mpg321

Description: A Free command-line mp3 player, compatible with mpg123
 mpg321 is a clone of the popular mpg123 command-line mp3 player. It
should
 function as a drop-in replacement for mpg123 in many cases. While some of
 the functionality of mpg123 is not yet implemented, mpg321 should
function
 properly in most cases for most people, such as for frontends such as
 gqmpeg.

of files.

That being the case then, just change "-maxdepth 1" to "maxdepth 2"

I dunno, these brainiac types with their good ideas....
