It's kind of relevant here, but VLC can also run inside a terminal.

  vlc -I ncurses

Noticed it when installing it on openSUSE, but VLC wont install any codecs that get installed on Windows, not sure what the legal issue is with that but it might as well be a paperweight on my laptop as is. Maybe I'll give it a shot as a terminal music client. On another thought, does that mean VLC somehow displays video with ascii? hah
Cool! How heavy is this on ram and cpu?
