Scratch the word iTunes, then yes. Smilie
Honestly, just look at its itunes --help output.
But most likely itunes will not even when started from a tty, but will work flawlessly if called from a terminal window.
(the first is all console, the 2nd is still GUI)

No idea about Mac, but have a look at these, if available:
aplay
moc
ffmpeg
mplayer
mpd

And if the arguments are too heavy, you might want to try my Video Handler Script (VHS), requires ffmpeg, which lets you play music from the console, and alot more.

Hope this helps, or be more specific.

NAME
httpfs2 - mount a file from a http server into the filesystem SYNOPSIS
httpfs2 [OPTIONS] URL FUSE-OPTIONS httpfs2_ssl [OPTIONS] URL FUSE-OPTIONS DESCRIPTION
httpfs2 is a FUSE based filesystem for mounting http or https URLS as files in the filesystem. There is no notion of listable directories in http so only a single URL can be mounted. The server must be able to send byte ranges. OPTIONS
-c console Attempt to use the file ior device console for output after fork. The default is /dev/console. -f Do not fork, stay in foreground. -t timeout Use different timeout for connections. Default '30's. URL The url should specify the protocol as http or https, and it may specify basic authentication username and password. Currently special characters like whitespace are not handled so the URL cannot contain them. See a sample URL below: http://user:password@server.com/dir/file FUSE-OPTIONS These options are passed to the FUSE library. At the very least the mount point should be specified. EXIT STATUS
0 Successfully connected to the server other Failure (url parsing error, server error, FUSE setup error). Some FUSE errors may happen only after the process forks so they will not be returned in exit value. BUGS
The process can be stopped by typing ^Z on the terminal which may not be desirable under some circumstances. AUTHORS
