nevermind, i fixed it.  

went into the control center, changed the startup command so when i boot up it 
starts with a new session, not restoring the last session.  started up and 
the media player did not start running.  went and checked the playlist and 
all the files i accidentily added were gone.  glad i found that setting to 
start with an empty session.  sometimes my wife will hop on the computer and 
exit linux and boot into win98, and she doesn't close out the programs i have 
running (GAIM/AIM, noatun, and k-mail are the first 3 programs i start and i 
leave them running non-stop when on the computer).  i've noticed when she 
does that, i lose AIM sounds when the media player is running.  i've learned 
to make sure every program is closed before logging out of linux, she doesn't 
always check and i run each program on a different desktop, so that confuses 
her even more.  but for anyone that was going to respond, thanks anyway!  
anything anyone can add to help if i run into similiar situations in the 
future would be appreciated.  thanks!
