Try `M-x toggle-debug-on-error' first, then show us the backtrace.

Here's a sample minimal setup:

(require 'emms-setup)
(emms-minimalistic)

(setq emms-player-list '(emms-player-mplayer
                         emms-player-mplayer-playlist
                         emms-player-mpg321))

(setq emms-source-file-default-directory "~/music/songs")
