Java Sound supports the following audio file formats:
AIFF, AU and WAV. It also supports the following MIDI
based song file formats: TYPE 0 MIDI, TYPE 1 MIDI
and RMF.

BUT YOU DO NOT SUPPORT ONE OF THE MOST USED AUDIO FORMATS
ON THE WEB: MPEG Audio layer 3 or MP3!

Although this is a relatively new audio format, MP3 will
allow Java Developers to add near CD-quality audio to
applications and applets at the best size\quality ratio!

Please add MP3 support to your JMF Sound API.
