为什么在尝试播放mp3文件时出现这些异常？

Question

I downloaded JMF MP3 Plugin to play mp3 files in my java program.I included mp3plugin.jar in my project library of netbeans along with JDK. But still i am unable to play mp3 file. When i run my code i get the following exception :

Exception in thread "main" javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException: line with format MPEG1L3 44100.0 Hz, unknown bits per sample, stereo, unknown frame size, unknown frame rate,  not supported.
at com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDevice$DirectDL.implOpen(DirectAudioDevice.java:541)

at com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDevice$DirectClip.open(DirectAudioDevice.java:1211)
at mp3.MP3.main(MP3.java:25)
Java Result: 1

THIS IS THE CODE THAT I HAVE WRITTEN TO PLAY MP3 FILES

import javax.sound.sampled.*;
import java.io.*;

public class MP3 {
 static Thread th;

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
     Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
     AudioInputStream ais = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File("mysong.mp3"));
     clip.open(ais);
     clip.loop(0);
     long tf = (long)(clip.getFrameLength() * clip.getFormat().getFrameRate());           
     Thread.sleep( ( tf* 1000 ));          
}

}

Why do i get these exceptions ? Is there a problem with the code.

I refer you to this link for an example.

Basically the MP3 plugin can read in MP3s, but not play them. In order to play them you must convert them in the program to a file type that can actually be played such as PCM.
