Playing MP3's

Ok, I'm at the portion of the code where I will need to play an MP3.

I figure this part of the code will take the longest.

But I am hoping and praying there are some built in PHP functions to handle MP3's.

But... there probably isn't.

So does anyone have any suggestions for a player/streamer that can stream server-side music files?

I don't need it to do anything else.

There's nothing that PHP can do for you here really. Playing an MP3 file would be a client-side operation. Flash or Java or some other stream aware set up may be able to do it, but not PHP.

If anyone wants minimal MP3 playing ability, I really recommend this link:
