Playing MP3 in Java Application

Question

I want to play a MP3 file in my Java Application. Because JavaLayer does not support pausing the music and JavaFX MediaPlayer is not nice to use due to Runtime distribution, I'm searching a library supporting playing, pausing and stopping MP3 files and if possible other formats, too.

Answer 1

JLayer does support pausing the music...

(Like the author says: the code is not quite beautiful or efficient - but it gets the job done. For alternatives and modified versions, scroll down to the comment section. The author also refers to another solution, but states that the "pausing" is delayed by 1 second.)
