The best way to do this is using GStreamer#. Instructions and an example
are up at http://www.atoker.com/mmp/ although the bindings are still a
little rough around the edges.

Alternatively you can run
http://www.javazoom.net/javalayer/javalayer.html through JUMP if you
want a native solution, but it will run slow.

Particularly if you take the latter path, you should consider the legal
issues surrounding MP3 and if possible consult your lawyer beforehand.
