      no exception and MediaPlayer plays the MP3 - like WAV

      exception

      ---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
      package com.sample.MediaPlayerMP3Bug;

      import java.net.URL;
      import javafx.application.Application;
      import javafx.scene.Scene;
      import javafx.scene.control.Label;
      import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
      import javafx.scene.media.Media;
      import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer;
      import javafx.stage.Stage;

      public class App extends Application {

          private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;

          @Override
          public void init() throws Exception {
      // var musicFile = "music.wav"; // works
              
              var musicFile = "music.mp3"; // fails
              
              URL fileUrl = getClass().getResource(musicFile);

              var media = new Media(fileUrl.toString());
              mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(media); // com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player!
              mediaPlayer.play();
          }

          @Override
          public void start(Stage stage) {
              var root = new HBox(new Label("MediaPlayer-MP3-Bug"));
              stage.setScene(new Scene(root, 600, 400));
              stage.show();
          }

          public static void main(String[] args) {
              launch(args);
          }
      }
      ---------- END SOURCE ----------

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      using WAV - but it's not a viable workaround for real world applications

      FREQUENCY : always
