According to the JavaSound info. page.

MP3 decoding support

The Java Sound API does not support many formats of sampled sound internally. In a 1.6.0_24 Oracle JRE getAudioFileTypes() will generally return {WAVE, AU, AIFF}. An MP3 decoder at least, is close by. The mp3plugin.jar of the Java Media Framework supports decoding MP3s.

I can vouch for that information since I've successfully loaded MP3s using Java Sound and the MP3 SPI (& also wrote the info. page ;) ). The JMF installer download is becoming hard to find, but you can get the mp3plugin.jar direct from where I put it for use in JWS apps.
