Hi all,
How can I play MP3 files in C++? Is there any library that I can use?
Thanks,

In the C++ standard library, no. SDL, however, might support such a thing.
Google for "MP3 files in C++".
I found libmpg123 to be a good library.
Also, be aware of the legal implications - MP3 is patented. Depending on what you're doing, other formats may suit you better. (In the local gamedev club, the last project I worked with used .ogg files. Supported by SDL, excellent quality, and free.)

Unprecedented performance: Nothing ever ran this slow before.
Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.
Real Programmers confuse Halloween and Christmas, because dec 25 == oct 31.
The best way to accelerate an IBM is at 9.8 m/s/s.

That is for Linux, is there any version for windows also?
Thanks,

FMOD, DirectSound, OpenAL. I use FMOD.
I'm not immature, I'm refined in the opposite direction.
Yes, libmpg123 works with Windows. They seem to have a developer zip file on the website's download page, but IIRC, I just compiled from source.
I forgot to note that libmpg123 provides only decoding support, IIRC. I don't think they have any code for playing sound. (You've got two tasks here: decoding the mp3 and playing the resulting waveform.) Some of the libraries mentioned above can help with that. (Some might be able to do both decoding/playing in one or two steps - for me, this was not needed.)
