I do have to ask you why using X is good advice (not to say your wrong),

mpg123, a command-line mp3 player, can be run given a list of files to
play. That's the closest I can think of to a playlist (what I assume

the similar program mpg321 probably has the same capability.
Thanks, I will check i

Hi,
I would say no. The X server isnt all too bloated if you use a lightweight
window manager . Firefox, Openoffice, Xmms all use toolkits that need a
backend X server to talk to. What gives you the impressions that X is that
bloated? I would say just bite the bullet and search out a simple win
