OK - this response has nothing to do with 'mplayer', but if you just want to play mp3 files then one clever piece of FREE software you might want to consider is 'Single File PHP Audio Player'.

You need a web server capable of running PHP 5 scripts and a client browser that supports HTML5 and JavaScript. As shown below, one of the benefits is, you just drop all your music and the index.php file in a directory on your server. This is an example from one of my Raspberry Pi servers.

There is an on-line demo on the author's (Kenny Svalgaard) website, so you can try it out.
