I also tried this:

> gst-launch-0.10.exe playbin uri=file://C:\dance.mp3

and I got this error:

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
ERROR: Pipeline doesn't want to pause.
ERROR: from element /playbin0: A FILE protocol source plugin is required to
play this stream, but not installed.
Additional debug info:
E:\devel-release\src_releases\gst-plugins-base\gst\playback\gstplaybasebin.c(1602):
(function) (): /playbin0:
No URI handler for file
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
FREEING pipeline ...
