your symptom is identical to that of step #4 of the Gravitech Tutorial. You system is not finding the Sd Card, hence the Error. Which is not with the MP3 library, as it has not gotten to it yet.

have you followed the trouble shooting guide: http://mpflaga.github.io/Sparkfun-MP3-Player-Shield-Arduino-Library/#Troubleshooting

use SdFat Example Library’s QuickStart.ino as to see if it can access the card. Additionaly, SdInfo.ino may indicate if it can mount the card. Which may then need to formatted in FAT16 or FAT32. Where SdFormatter.ino can do this for you.
