Well, for one thing, post the error message! It would help a lot. One thing I do have to throw in is that many Linux distros refrain from including the Mp3 codec as they do not have the proper license rights. (Red Hat has this problem.) If that's the case, you'll have to download a special codec (but I highly doubt that Puppy Linux has this issue).

Another thing: Are you using XMMS to play your songs?
