the prolem with your set up is in the 'fade distance' field. As it says, you won't be able to hear the MP3 playing when you are that far away, however one thing I've noticed is that the MP3 is for all purposes inaudible if you aren't almost right on top of it (this is going by your fade distance of 250). I've found that I normally have to have the fade distance significantly higher then I first thought I would.

Also, the path should be 'sounds/ambience/*.mp3', and I'd recommend you check the 'loop' flag.

With no name and looping not set you would have to spawn inside it's audible range when the map loads, because that's the only time it's going to play

what if you want it on all the time does it still need a name?

I had a problem like this once, not just with target_mp3s which I placed myself but in the official maps the entity did not appear to work either (I checked in Quark to see where the target_mp3s were located). Then one day I noticed sounds I had never heard before in NS_Hera. I immediately loaded up my own test map and found that the mp3 entity was now working!
So it seems I must have had something wrong with my config, no idea what though...
