Do a 'Get Info' on such a file. Click the 'Open with' triangle. Choose
QuickTime Player from the pop-up. If you want to open every mp3 on your
disk with QT Player, click the 'Change All..." button.

You now mapped every file with the .mp3 extension to QT Player.

Why not just put iTunes in the "mini player" mode? It's right there in
iTunes' menu.
