playing mp3 files in firefox

Can anyone suggest me webplayer which can play MP3 files in Firefox browser? I tried jPlayer, however it needs ogg files. I tried converting MP3 to OGA using FFMPEG, however, even the generated file is not being played in JPlayer. Is there any alternate player which can play MP3 files in Firefox. I don't want to use Flash.

..alternate player which can play MP3 files in Firefox.

Combine these 3 for an answer.

  • Java Sound for the ability to play audio.
  • The MP3 plug-in SPI of JMF, to supply support for MP3, which Java Sound does not support by default.
  • Applet - to embed that ability in a web page.

Note

I am pretty sure there are easy ways to embed sound in web pages that does not require Java, or requires plug-ins that have higher usage (like Flash). If there is not something custom you wish to do, I recommend investigating alternatives.
