The playback of MP3 and other format need decoding the audio and then pushing the decoded data to the sound card. that is too much of an application developer.

I suggest you can use some of the existing SDKs for doing this.

1. On windows you can use the WMPSDK which will take care of playing other major formats (provided the codec for the format is available on the system)

2. you can use DirectX to play a lot of formats.

3. The 2rd one is libvlc. I have not used it personally(i am planning to) but it seems it could also be used for audio playback. there are some managed wrappers available for it too.
