C++ is a programming language. You must use an API/library to play music; C++ doesn''t do that.
OpenGL is a graphics API, so it won''t play music either.
For Win32, look into MCI, DirectShow, BASS, or FMod. There are other freeware libraries which you can probably find through Google.

It''s ok, I will use DirectSound7 for playing Wav file, cuz Mp3 is to expensive in license. Thanks for reply.

You may want to go with DirectShow, or DirectSound8 (I think that's still the name). Its better.

You can''t use FMOD in commercial projects without paying a fee. MCISendString works great, but DirectSound performs better.

License?
There is no license in using 3rd-party routines to decode mp3. The only licensing issues arise when you write routines that decode mp3 directly, since there are methods you MUST use to do so which have been protected by <EVIL>intellectual patents</EVIL>…

Anyway, go use FMOD: http://www.fmod.org - it's good for your purposes, and you're not gonna release a commercial game anyway are ya?
