Other Sound Format Support Sound in Java

I know how to play a sound file in an applet and an application.I was wondering though if anyone knows how to make Java play other sound formats such as mp3, wma, etc..Well especially an mp3.I know Java already supports wav, au, and aifHow do you play mp3's?

I have heard that sun micro system has launched a system called Java Media Framework API (JMF). It supports various media types such as AVI, MIDI, MP2, MP3*, GSM,MPEG-1 etc.etc. Moreover they say that it supports streaming.

Your problem appears to be solved, but I just wanted to correct a mistake in the previous post. The Java Media Framework cannot play wma files, along with wmv and any other microsoft based media file. Due to the fact that Microsoft is a competitor of Sun, Sun has choosen to omit support for most microsoft file types.
