DirectShow
DirectShow is the way to do it.

if ya dont want to mess with direct show u can allways convert the mp3 into a mp3 encoded wav file and use direct music to play it
Blaaaaa Blaaaa Blaa errrrr!!!! Bla?
Winamp

Personally if you can, i''d encourage the switch the OGG Vorbis.
If you can''t, then look into Direct Show as mentioned above.

Other than the DirectX options, I''ve found fmod a very easy to use and effective sound library. It easily handles mp3, ogg, and most others. Definitely worth looking into if you want an alternative to the DirectX options.
Thanks, but i will use DirectShow...
BTW, what is ogg format?

There is no problem, only solutions...
use FMOD, the best! Easy to learn the library too! Best if your concerned about performance & cpu utilization.
