In the text console, there is mplayer, trplayer (a text front end for realplayer 8), cplay. Depends what you want from the player, for which is most appropiate. Mplayer has plenty of codecs (and probably allows playing nearly any format), but it has so many options that it can be complex to get started with or for basic use. Cplay is more basic, but simpler for navigating through lists of tracks.
