    Which media player are you using. If you don't have one installed you will probably have to install one, some popular ones are:

    Amarok
    Banshee
    MPlayer
    Rhythmbox Music Player
    gtkPod
    XMMS
    VLC Media Player
    Helix Player
    Totem
    Xine

    MP3 is not supported out of the box by any distro due to copyright laws.

    This page tells how to enable it in RHEL5
