winamp

[Michael Whapples]

On that, then mplayer is probably a good choice. I am not sure about how it 
would handle multiple directories, but it can do playlists (I think) so you 
could do it that way if necessary. Mplayer certainly meets the many codecs 
requirement, MP3, OGG, WAV, quicktime, windows media, realaudio, the list 
goes on.

I think there may be various front ends for mplayer, I think there is one 
called mplay, not sure what that is like to use.
