Madplay

madplay is a music player which can easily play all the mp3 files in a directory.

For instance, with raspbian, install madplay with "sudo apt-get install madplay".

Then you can play a single mp3 file with "madplay /usb/tunes/tunename.mp3", or all tunes in a directory with "madplay /usb/tunes/*.mp3".

(This assumes that you have put tunes in "/usb/tunes"--if your tunes are located elsewhere, replace with the appropriate path.)
