I wanted to solve this very problem, and use !iTunes to play audio files on the Mac. First, I went with VLC. It's quite capable. It turns out there's a native Mac app called 'afplay' and it'll do the trick as well. "afplay foo.mp3" and it'll play that MP3. No frills, no controls. Just plays the file. I would cd to a directory with the songs I wanted to play, and use a for loop to play them all.
