The only application that plays .mp3 out of the box in 10.2 is Real Player.  
This is because .mp3 is a patent encumbered codec, and Real Player is paying 
money for the ability to play .mp3.

You can install the .mp3 codec for other applications (like amarok) if you 
choose to.

These codecs and applications compiled with .mp3 support are found in the 
packman repository.
