Go to /usr/ports/multimedia to see list of mp3 players and other multimedia player. If I were you I will select following
To install use pkg_add command or ports collection. For example to install xmms using ports collection enter: Code:
cd /usr/ports/multimedia make install clean

I have been using mpg321 on FreeBSD for a long time to play as a music server. works nicely on most mp3 formats. It's available from the FreeBSD ports.

yup, mpg321 is also good choice. I used it few years ago. I think it is w/o gui.

You don't have ports collection installed. How did you installed FreeBSD? From CD / DVD? If so, run sysinstall and select package and insert CD to install it from CD. You can also install ports collection from cd. Do you have internet enabled under FreeBSD?
