[plug] MP3s on a NTFS not working out

[Weirdo]

Hi, I have approx 9Gb of MP3s on an NTFS partition. I can easily convert it 
to FAT32 if I wanted to but I prefer NTFS[1] for use under Windows and for 
protection against other idiots using my computer. Under Linux I can play 
the Mp3s fine directly off the Disk using freeamp, XMMS and other lovely 
GUI based apps. I WANT MY CONSOLE APPS! mpg321 and mpg123 both fail to play 
the files off NTFS. If I move them to ext2/3 or FAT it works fine. The 
error I get is device not found (i spent weeks trying to find out what 
module wasn't loaded, by accident I found out it was the NTFS)
Can any one tell me why this happens and how I can redeem it without moving 
files?
Thanks
Tim

[1] The file security of NTFS (although not as good as ext2/3) means that I 
can lock my MP3s away from other windows users at LANs, It also means their 
is not risk of deletion of files from Linux when I am using Linux as a 
Jukebox and someone accidently gets root as NTFS write support isn't 
compiled into the kernel.
