Lightest media player

Good thread. Goes in my bookmarks.

Yup. the best thing about cplay is that since its CLI, you can simply ssh into the machine and start up the app - not that it would be of great use if you are not home - you probably cant listen to the music. but i normally use my laptop while the music is in an external drive connected to an old P3

Well,

Try mocp (music on console). Its a command line application to play music for you. specially if you spend a lot of time in console/terminal. Very easy to go back and forth in background and foreground.

Its pretty lightweight too.
