asterisk users - Aug 2007 - MoH mysteriously stopped working

Folks, I have somewhat of a serious issue here.  My music on hold 
mysteriously stopped working.  I have made no changes to my Asterisk box 
in the past month and up until an hour ago, MoH was working fine (as far 
as I know).

CLI:
-- Started music on hold, class 'default', on channel
'IAX2/lobby-2'
-- Stopped music on hold on IAX2/lobby-2
voip*CLI> moh reload
voip*CLI>
1 class reloaded.

files in '/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3'
Aug  8 16:27:33 WARNING[7984]: res_musiconhold.c:504 monmp3thread: 
Unable to spawn mp3player

musiconhold.conf:
-----------------
[default]
mode => quietmp3
directory => /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3
random => yes


I have had .gsm (and only .gsm) files in that directory since day one, 
and it's always played them just fine.  The .gsm files are still in that 
directory, and transferring them to my computer and playing them works 
just fine.

I have autoload set in modules.conf, and I can't figure out why my music 
on hold suddenly stopped working.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Jay

I've had MOH die probably 4-5 times in the last 2+ years and the only 
way to get it back is to stop * and restart it.  Reloading MOH or just 
doing a regular reload doesn't work.  I have to actually do a "stop
now"
and then "asterisk" to get it to work again.  * restarts and MOH works
fine.  No clue why, but I have seen it on multiple versions of *.
