Andrew,
If you do not have your filetype set up to do anything, that is exactly what it will do. The way you are doing it, you are not invoking a filetype. You are merely selecting a bunch of files (that happen to be MP3s) and activating a button that is set up correctly.
If you change the filetype Double-click features to be:
AmigaDOS Echo "Press Ctrl-c to Stop..."
AmigaDOS C:MPEGA -d2 -i -N -T {f}
- Output to window
- Run Async
You can simply double-click on the file and it will play.
The button you have will allow you to play multiple files in succession. There is no conflict if you set up both.
Just as a side note, on my 040/33 MPEGA played MP3s horribly. When I upgraded to 3.9, Amplifier plays them much better. This is just about the only good thing I have to say about 3.9, but I don't want to get another 3.9 discussion going on this list.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
