Or...
Get WinAmp, read the section in the about screen's about Amp
Download the source to Amp, rip out all the MP3 decoding parts
Now that you've got the decoding parts, continue from Grant's part about
graduating college (well...it seem4ed like a good idea until i thought about
turning it into a circuit).
