Hi!
   I'd go for the script. Name your files like:
01-my_title.mp3
02-my_second_title.mp3
   And then use something like the following:
*** BEGIN ***
#!/bin/bash
for F in *.mp3 do
   mplayer $F
   read -p "Press a key and <ENTER> " KEY;
done
*** END ***
   You could then even do something with your key. Something like:
case "$KEY" in
   q)
     echo "Quit the loop";
     ;;
   r)
     echo "Repeat the last title";
     ;;
esac;
   You'll have to work with a while loop for some of this, but still, rather 
flexible.
   You could even put this:
sleep 5
    before the mplayer command, so you'll have time to switch back to your 
lyrics or whatever...
   Another thing, about which I'm absolutely not sure, is to try xmms. I've 
heard they have a lot of things about playlists...
   Kindest regards
          Julien
