I'll try both the repository and documents module as mentioned above.  However, I have loaded the media module and it seems to not work well.

I setup .mp3 as a file type in my host settings and then uploaded an .mp3 file, but it just sits there and tries to load all day.

I have a 10mb Fiber backbone at work and it won't even load here.  Plus ultra high-speed at home and it won't load there so I think I read that the media module trys to load the whole file before playing and in my case never gets there, ugh.

Thanks, Chad

The repository module works great for this, or the media module.  Third party modules may be even better for your needs, check the Marketplace or Snowcovered.  Ultra Media Gallery is always one of the more popular.

As Jeff said, there are many, many thrid-party modules available besides the several possibilities included in DNN.  If you have a small number of files, though, it should be able to easily do it for free.

If you are not worried about browsers other than IE (as in a corporate intranet standardized on IE) you can easily embed a media player control in the page.  I've done this with great success using the Text/HTML module.  See sample code here:  http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet317.html

A cross browser solution would be to use a Flash-based front end:  http://www.flashmp3player.org/

Those are just a couple of non-standard suggestions to add to Jeff's comments.  Post back if you continue to have problems.
