If anyone has any idea where to start a little help can go a long way
Generally you would need to have the partition (drive) mounted and then use XMMS to either play a file or directory location. I have all my mp3's in one big partition which is mounted as stangely enough /music, you would maybe want to make your mount maybe a /media directory off / with mkdir media in the / directory and then mount /dev/hd?? /media if you want it mounted every time at boot then edit the file /etc/fstab and add the proper line for your media drive partition.

If you need more help than this could you post the output of fdisk -l /dev/hd? of the drive the media files are stored on so I can give you the exact commands required also you do not mention if you are running from HD install or CD the instructions above would be for a HD install if running from CD you should just mount the partition with the media files and then use XMMS to play the files. Also all commands mentioned are executed as root.
