i use the console a fair deal.. actually i probably use command line more often than I use gui. Even for file management I still use the Command Prompt in windows (even though it is a shell of its former self) when I am forced to use windows.
and as far as playing mp3s and chatting on aim and such.. There are console versions to do both. mp3s are easy to play in the background with just using mpg123... and I remember seeing a console version of AIM/ICQ, but I have never used it.
