You could use ogg123 or mpg123, depending on the file format. They are both in the standard repositories at least on Ubuntu 14.04.

The usage is..

ogg123 path
mpg123 path

For other alternatives have a look here: http://www.tuxarena.com/2011/12/10-console-music-players-for-linux/

I am a big fan of audacious, you can give a go to this: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/raring/man1/audtty.1.html

  • one other thing you could consider doing, if I understand your problem, is to mount your remote folder to your local file system, so that you can use any player to play the music on the remote drive. See for example sshfs or samba. Nov 17, 2015 at 13:00
  • I used the command vlc -I ncurses Nov 17, 2015 at 17:47
  • But the source is empty like: Source:<no current item> Nov 17, 2015 at 17:48
  • sorry Evlis those comments are not relevant to the solution I proposed. I cannot help you with vlc. Nov 18, 2015 at 21:39
