Playing mp3 files in Ubuntu

[granadajose]

Could anyone please help play an mp3 in Java on Ubuntu using the javax.media.Manager object?

I'm building a fitness application for Ubuntu, and the mp3 sound capabilities would be a really interesting addition.

I have used the JMF and the code described in:

How to Play a MP3 File in Java – Simple and Beautiful

but it simply does not work in my version of Ubuntu.

does not work

Are there error messages?

Yes, I get following error message:

I use the following code for registering the plugin:

********************************
Format input1 = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.MPEGLAYER3);
Format input2 = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.MPEG);
Format output = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.LINEAR);
PlugInManager.addPlugIn("com.sun.media.codec.audio .mp3.JavaDecoder",new Format[]{input1, input2},new Format[]{output},PlugInManager.CODEC);
********************************

And the following code to (try to) play the song:

********************************
player=Manager.createRealizedPlayer(new MediaLocator(new File(cancion).toURI().toURL()));
player.start();
********************************

What could be wrong?
