You can use DirectShow to play MP3 files, but unless you write your own filter, you can't play MP3s from RES files using DirectShow. Another way of doing it is to use the FMOD, BASS or MPLUG libraries. They can all play MP3 files from a resource file.

It's not very elegant, but the media player control works fine.
