Firstly, do you want it for text console or gnome? in gnome there are players such as gxine (ubuntu has this in its repositries), totem movie player, etc (RealPlayer 10 is accessible to a level in gnome, if you want that). 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.
