Best method of streaming MPEG3 encoded audio over HTTP with Java?

Question

I've tried using the JMF libraries with the "MediaPlayer" bean, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything, or it plays a split-second of the audio track. I do have the Mpeg3 codecs installed - so that's not the issue. I was wondering if anyone has a better method of accomplishing this?

Current code for using the MediaPlayer:

mediaPlayer1.setMediaLocation(core.getStreamURL(Songs.getJSONObject(3).get("songID").toString()));

mediaPlayer1.start();

It's not an issue with the stream URL, I've confirmed that it is in fact a valid URL. The issue seems to be with the control itself.

Any ideas? A control is preferred, I'd like to be able to control seek / play / pause.
