You can try mpg123 as the decoder, i have converted the headers for the dll some time ago.
But i think you should stick with BASS or something free like OGG + OpenAL

I'm more so for completely free options than Bass myself. Bass is great for freeware games, which any beginner would be doing, however as development gets more serious and beginners become novices, this choice in mp3 playback may scare away potential continuing usage of the game library once all the basics have been learned.
Even as beginners, us independent developers let our heads get big at the start. We all want to be able to release the next big thing and small things like shareware license fees can seem like large limitations so we will seek out newer alternatives. That's kind of what it was like in the days of DelphiX before 3D hardware acceleration was put in. Other game libraries were first spawned because of this missing feature.
Also, there is a LGPL alternative for BASS http://audiere.sourceforge.net/

could anyone suggest a good tutorial.example of how to use mpg123 or OpenAl?
I once tried to change the world. But they wouldn't give me the source code. Damned evil cunning.
I believe Noeska had a tutorial, but I can't find it anymore.
Edit: Maybe you'll find this interesting: http://www.pascalgamedevelopment.com...ghlight=mpg123

Coders rule nr 1: Face ur bugz.. dont cage them with code, kill'em with ur cursor.
In terms of help, I much appreciate the above. I've thought it over and I think I am going to go with the support ogg and wav and all formats that are GPL-Happy and include a tool to convert .mp3 and other proprietary formats. Thanks for all the help, I think I have plenty more work to do on the Audio unit until the next release.

I know where to find Noeska's tutorials. I just recall that there was one covering MP3 playback, but I can't find that one.
