step 1: add this in a new notpad file and save as MP3.java

Code:

/*************************************************************************
 *  Compilation:  javac -classpath .:jl1.0.jar MP3.java         (OS X)
 *                javac -classpath .;jl1.0.jar MP3.java         (Windows)
 *  Execution:    java -classpath .:jl1.0.jar MP3 filename.mp3  (OS X / Linux)
 *                java -classpath .;jl1.0.jar MP3 filename.mp3  (Windows)
 *  
 *  Plays an MP3 file using the JLayer MP3 library.

 *  To execute, get the file jl1.0.jar from the website above or from

 *      http://www.cs.princeton.edu/introcs/24inout/jl1.0.jar

        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Problem playing file " + filename);
            System.out.println(e);
        }

        // run in new thread to play in background
        new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                try { player.play(); }
                catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); }
            }
        }.start();




    }


    // test client
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String filename = args[0];
        MP3 mp3 = new MP3(filename);
        mp3.play();

        // do whatever computation you like, while music plays
        int N = 4000;
        double sum = 0.0;
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < N; j++) {
                sum += Math.sin(i + j);
            }
        }
        System.out.println(sum);

        // when the computation is done, stop playing it
        mp3.close();

        // play from the beginning
        mp3 = new MP3(filename);
        mp3.play();

    }

}

step 2:
to use it use

Code:

mp3 = new MP3(yourmp3.mp3);
        mp3.play();

not much of a tutorial but it is a base that you can use
