Hi,
You just want to play the file from server itself on your handset...right...not want to download..right
For this you have to follow these steps,
1.You must have the location of mp3 file...URL of the file,
2.Open the HTTP connection against that URL,
3.Create the player instance in order to play the file,
4.Play the file using the player instance,

Mark one more thing that call all the life cycle methods before you actually play the file,

First you read these lines..very much helpful,

Then below is the code in order to play the file,

public void run()
{
try
{
String url = "http://server/audio.mp3";
HttpConnection conn = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url,
Connector.READ_WRITE);
InputStream is = conn.openInputStream();
player = Manager.createPlayer(is,"audio/mpeg");

player.realize();
// get volume control for player and set volume to max
vc = (VolumeControl) player.getControl("VolumeControl");
if(vc != null)
{
vc.setLevel(100);
}
player.prefetch();
player.start();
}
catch(Exception e)
{}
}

I hope these lines can help you in any means,
Thanks
