playing mp3 files within windows

I know how to play wav files using a Windows api, such as:

ABSENT PlaySound [IF] LIBRARY WINMM.DLL

3 IMPORT: PlaySound [THEN]

: tada ( --)
z" c:\windows\media\tada.wav" 0 SND_FILENAME SND_SYNC OR PlaySound DROP ;

Has anyone been successful in finding a way to play an mp3 file in a similar
fashion? The standard shell commands to mp3 players usually have windows
that pop up during play, whereas the above plays without any window
distracting the operator.
