Pi + 2.8 inch screen for portable music player +

I'm trying to play music files through the 3.5mm jack to a headset. I've tried XBMC but the tft doesn't support it and sends the video to a TV instead. I've tried VLC and I can see the player playing the file but there's no audio. Is there any way to set the Pi up to play music playlists?

Not knowing where or what the screen is, try this image of Rasbian from adafruit: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pitft-28-inch-resistive-touchscreen-display-raspberry-pi/easy-install Once installed and working, you can download VLC. Which Pi do you have? Are you expecting stereo, I think you need something else like an audio card. You can look at usb sound card also.

I've tried that image and it does work but VLC has no audio out. As I said, I can see the player playing the file but there's no audio. I have the Pi2 and the screen from Adafruit. Everyone seems to be developing players that work over a network instead of one that is a stand alone functioning completely on the Pi and controlling files on the Pi.

It appears volumino may be the way to go based on http://www.tested.com/tech/521750-how-i-turned-raspberry-pi-2-audiophile-music-player/

That's what I'm working on, now. It too, is controlled over a network but I found an article where a guy has made it work on its own browser. I've tried to duplicate what he's done but it's not working. If I knew more programming, I'd just create a player that works.
