Command line programs can't handle file and directory names with spaces.

Use either quotes:

file "/media/scd1/Lamchop - 01 - The Man Who Loved Beer.wav"

or the backslash (sometimes called the escape character) to let it
know the spaces are literal, and not separating parts of the command,
like this:

file /media/scd1/Lamchop\ \-\ 01\ \-\ The\ Man\ Who\ Loved\ Beer.wav

Are you familiar with bash-completion, and using the tab key to type
things for you?  If you use bash-completion to fill in the file name
for you, it will add the appropriate escape characters for you.

He was giving you an example (using escape characters) and the result.

vlc should play all of those formats if the files aren't defective.
Amarok should at least play cda, wav and ogg files out of the box, and
mp3 with the appropriate plugin.
