I am searching for a mp3 player for Linux that resembles 1by1 on features: light, free, with no playlists, just selection of files to play using a directory navigator. Any suggestion?

I use moc, it does have a playlist window, but you can hide it and just play from the directory listing. It's what I turned to after giving up on new Amarok.

I use quodlibet. A nice little player with comprehensive file-type support and fabulous metadata editing abilities. It has a "File System" view, which meets your criterion.
I just started using this myself. It's great! I'm suprised more people don't use it. It seems to be flying 'under the radar' compared to other players. – DaveParillo – 2010-02-11T23:22:08.177
i don't use QL, but i've used Ex Falso and Mutagen (the ID3 tagger & tagging library from the same project) for years. really the only reason i haven't used QL is that my speakers are usually connected to a Windows system. – quack quixote – 2010-05-02T05:01:41.617
They've actually been working on a Windows port. Looks like it's available for download already, but I haven't tried it: http://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/wiki/Requirements

mpg123
and mpg321
are commandline MP3 players. You could associate them with MP3 files in Thunar/Nautilus/file-manager-of-choice. They take a list of files/URLs to play as arguments:
$ mpg123 /path/to/mp3s/*.mp3
# plays all mp3 files in directory /pat/to/mp3s (generally in order of filename)
$ find /path/to/mp3s -name '*.mp3' -print0 | xargs -0 mpg123
# plays all mp3 files in /path/to/mp3s and subdirectories
See man mpg123
or man mpg321
for details.

I haven't seen 1by1, but personally I use cplay when I want to both navigate and listen using the player.
For odd tracks, I have vlc associated with sound files, so I can navigate in Thunar (or whatever) and just double click on the file.

i use mplayer for that - mplayer /path/to/folder/*.extention (or . or the name of a particular file) will play everything in there, or you can use a playlist. its incredibly simple, and works from command line ;p.
1Wow. You switched from Amarok to moc?? That is extremely hardcore. +1 just for having more guts than me. – DaveParillo – 2009-11-08T23:09:38.153
Well, I had to, have you seen the new Amarok? Besides, moc is pretty user friendly, it's just a bit picky who it's friends are :). – kmelvn – 2009-11-09T00:18:26.130
