an audio player with a curses frontend.
Playlist on the commandline is one of the easier things: just add
multiple files as arguments. mplayer is able to cope with that. And
the < and > buttons on your keyboard let you jump back and forth
file-wise.
Have fun,

Mplayer is an awesome multimedia program, and it does support playlists
with the switch...-playlist!
So, easier than virtually any other approach GUI or CLI, just do this to
play all Ogg Vorbis files in your PWD:
ls -1 *.ogg > ogg_playlist
mplayer -playlist ogg_playlist
and you're in business.
I think you mean
ls *.ogg > playlist
ls -l doesn't work here.
mplayer -shuffle -playlist playlist
does work :)
But if I'm not in X, how do I set more commands?
For example when I want to listen to some music before going to sleep?
sudo shutdown -h 00:00 &
mplayer -shuffle -playlist playlist
?

That's a one not an ell Grammostola. It causes the output of ls to
occur line-by-line. If you're in the X Window System you'd be working
from a terminal window, if you're not you'd be at the tty command line.
You can either write a script to provide more "steps" of control or from
the CLI, separate your commands with semi-colons. What you provided
with the ampersand should work fine.
