 Lots. Mediaplayers like mplayer, xine, vlc, audioplayers like mpd,
 aqualung, audacious, audio editors like rezound and others 
 
 Are people actually using Audacity as just an MP3 player? Have I missed
 some setting that makes it suitable for that? Whenever I've loaded
 Audacity it is an audio editing environment, not a player. 
I didn't explain my purpose for using Audacity.  I use it to play MP3 files, but also
to change their tempo while preserving the pitch so I can learn drum and guitar parts
for complicated riffs.  It's excellent for this purpose.  I've tried a few other
tempo
control apps before but they were excessively choppy.  It's been a while so if anyone
can recommend one that works better than Audacity these days, I'd love to hear it.
