Can't play mp3 with sonata?

Hi,
Just installed Sonata om ny new fresh Arch installation.
Alsa is configured and I can play the sound test aplay ....wav files...

But now when im in X I started sonata and I cant ge the application to play my mp3 files?
I can't even see them?

And if I browse with Thunar and try run a file using sonata nothing happends...

So how do I get sonata so show my files, I need a guideanse of that application, and second do one have to config anymore to play mp3 in x?

Sonata is a python-based interface to MPD. Either install and setup MPD(Music Player Daemon), or use another player(Totem?)

EDIT: Have fun learning how to use Archlinux, you already learned one thing! Don't give up now.
