I'm talking about the one that lets you listen to a music file simply by hovering your mouse pointer over the music file in a file browser. Any thoughts?

it is a nautilus (file manager) plugin. Under edit-preferences select preview tab- soundfiles (local files only)

You need to have mpg123 installed for it to work.

You're welcome. You can also get ogg files to preview too by installing vorbis-tools. I love that feature. Enjoy:)
