from the command line
Code:
$ mpg321 filename.mp3
or if you have mplayer
Code:
$ mplayer filename.mp3
number of players to play files from KDE
noatun immediately comes to mind...however, I don't use KDE and can't tell you the others...I personally like BMP or XMMS

The problem isn't the player, it is permissions. If the mp3 you want to play is in the root folder, then you should simply move it. Open a terminal, and then su to root.
Code:
su
cd /root
mv *.mp3 /home/(regular user name)/
chown (regular user name):(regular user name) /home/(regular user name)/*.mp3
Obviously you should replace (regular user name) with whatever your actual user name is. Once that is done, the file will be owned by you, and in a location you have access to, then you can play it with whatever you like to use.
Peace,
JimBass

No problem man. A year ago I was in your shoes. Just keep doing what you did, ask about what you can't do, and learn!
