My fall-back is mpg321 - I can pass it files, urls, whatever from within
a graphical file manager and it just dumps a bit of copyright output
into .xsession-errors, .kde-errors or .gnome-errors, depending on what
I'm running. Needless to say, it works great from a shell and also
handles m3u files fine. It is noticeably less of a demand on my system
than mpg123 and is GPL'd, while mpg123 is not.
