It would be the same code, simply replacing the .wav with .mp3.
Note: Not everyone who uses the web necessarily has a player that will play mp3's. It is best to convert it to a .wav file if possible! It could cause problems for some!

Most of the newer software that is able to burn music CD's has the ability to convert MP3s to wav format. So if you have a CDR drive you may already have the software to do it.
