In no particular order, for X graphical DE (KDE, Xfce, etc, QT or GTK based): audacious (modern descendant of XMMS) XMMS (original classic X MultiMedia System 1997-2007, modeled after winamp) XMMS2 (fork of XMMS) Elisa amarok clementine (fork of amarok) strawberry (fork or clementine) atunes (ugh, Java) sayonara and for the CLI: vitunes-mplayer (curses based frontend for mplayer, with vi key bindings) All should have pause functionality, and you can record the time stamp in your notes to return to specific areas.
