Playing MP3 files using pure Java

Question

Is it possible at all to play MP3 files using only the built-in libraries provided with JDK. I've heard of the javax.media library which is found is 1.7 I think. By the way I know of jlayer but I don't want to use it.

Answer 1

Yes you can play MP3 file, but you need to download MP3 plugin because java framework only supports WAV and AIFF files.
