Try using 'open with'. Highlight the mp3, then hold shift while right clicking. Choose open with. Then associate it with media player. Make sure the box is ticked.

Have you tried this>
Open windows explorer, right click the cd rom/properties select auto play. Fiddle around with the options in there.

try this

open my computer / on the toolbar hit tools - Folder Options
hit the file types tab / scroll down to WM windows media audio/video file
Highlight & hit change / in the new window hit browse
Browse to an MP3 - highlight - click OK

that should do it
