I recommend cmus, it does have an cool ncurses-based interfaces and some
vi-style commands

Well, these are X applications (and Amarok is a KDE application.)
Obviously they need X to work. USE flags are there to configure
*optional* dependencies and behaviors. For mplayer and Amarok, these
dependencies are not optional.


for amarok this is true, but mplayer works well without X:

USE="-X" emerge mplayer should work fine.

but i recommend mp3blaster for console music playback.



As others mentioned, you should install a command line player. There are
a few. mpg123 is not really a media player though. You might want to

You really need to find out what you need/want.

If you want a nice GUI media player then you either need X or some
kind of solution that works on framebuffer (they exist, but they are
not straightforward to get working). Some web based players exist as
well.

Secondly, mplayer does work on command line. You don't need to do
anything special for that. However, its capabilities come limited by
the graphics capabilities of your environment. If you ware in
framebuffer and you have correctly set up it using kms, uvesafb or
something like that, then you can probably play videos and show
graphics in your ttys, if not, then you'll need X for that. In any
case, don't expect a great performance when playing high resolution
videos in a framebuffer device.

As for music, there are some very good players for command line, some
of them are strictly command-based, others (like moc) offer a nice
ncurses-based interface where you can navigate your collections and
playlists.

You can use "mplayer -vo fbdev" to play videos under console, but you 
should have framebuffer enabled in kernel and use flag "fbcon" enabled.

Wait ! I remember once when I used Federa , I also installed mplayer from 
source code .
Mplayer afforded an option looked like --without-graphic , Then I could use 
mplayer under
console and it didn't contact with graphical desktop.
 
It seems that documentation about mplayer is needed .

Thank you ! No wonder it didn't work . Maybe I indeed need to install a KDE 
desktop .
