The best media file handle is Embedded Media Field module
http://drupal.org/project/emfield
The problem: one needs to modify: zzz_custom_url.inc
to play mp3.

How to use jQuery Media module to play flv and mp3 files?
Another module is jQuery Media module
http://drupal.org/project/jquery_media
1. Install modules
jQuery Media module
jQ module
2. Install player
flv (mp3) player:
http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Player
Download the player something like: mediaplayer-3-16.zip
You only need one file: mediaplayer.swf
copy that file to your drupal directory, http://localhost/drupal/files/mediaplayer.swf
3. configure
admin/settings/jq
Select "Auto-invoke Media class"
setting player
flve player:
http://localhost/drupal/files/mediaplayer.swf
mp3 player:
http://localhost/drupal/files/mediaplayer.swf
Default settings
Media Width: 320
Media Height: 240
4. create a page use link (a class="media" href=)
Example:
<a class="media" href="http://localhost/files/flvfiles.flv">Movie Files</a>
<a class="media" href="http://localhost/files/mp3files.mp3"> MP3 Files</a>
admin/settings/jq
Does the path to mediaplayer.swf have to be absolute? I have the default (relative) setting at the moment and its not working for me ...
Thanks for the writeup, I've been tearing my hair out trying these modules and having zero to very poor documentation to go off of.
