An mp3 decoder needs about 50x the horsepower a coco has, and about 10 
bits more in the audio precision.  While a reasonable something that 
might play something recognizable might be done, I don't think anyone 
would want to listen to it for an extended period of time.

Besides, even these 70 year old ears don't tolerate the 'mp3' sound 
all that well, much preferring to listen to the open source ogg 
format, which beats the mp3 quality easily at the same compression 
ratio.
