I don't think Movieplayer will play MP3 files atall at least it refuses
to touch any that I have.  MacAMP is my favourite player and it claims
to play MPEG 1 & 2, layers 2 & 3 (http://macamp.lh.net), it refuses to
play a couple of MP3s I have though, Vamp (www.teaser.fr/~mpollet/Vamp/)
will play them and it is only about 200k as opposed to MacAMPs 800k.
